Aehr Test Systems, a provider of test and burn-in solutions for semiconductor devices, has received a $14 million order from its lead AI processor customer for multiple new fully automated FOX-XP wafer-level burn-in systems, WaferPak contactors, and Automated WaferPak Auto Aligners. The order will enable high-volume manufacturing and reliability testing for AI processors used in data center training and inference applications.

Why it matters

As power densities, current levels, and device complexity continue to rise in AI processors, early-life failure screening at the wafer level has become critical to maximizing yield, improving system reliability, and lowering the total cost of ownership for data center operators. Aehr is the first company to successfully demonstrate and ship a wafer-level burn-in solution for AI processors.

The details

The order includes multiple new fully automated FOX-XP wafer-level test and burn-in systems, each configured to test nine 300mm wafers in parallel, along with a set of Aehr's proprietary FOX WaferPak full-wafer Contactors and a fully integrated FOX WaferPak Auto Aligner with each system to enable hands-free operation in high-volume production. The products are scheduled to ship within the next six months.

  • The order was received on February 26, 2026.
  • The products included in this order are scheduled to ship within the next six months.
