Aehr Test Systems, a leading provider of test and burn-in solutions for semiconductor devices, has received a record $41 million follow-on production order from its lead hyperscale customer for package-level burn-in (PLBI) of custom AI processor ASICs. The order is the largest in Aehr's history and supports high-volume production burn-in of ASICs used in data center training and inference AI workloads.

Why it matters

This order further validates Aehr's Sonoma platform for high-volume production burn-in of very-high-power AI processor ASICs. As AI processor power levels and integration complexity continue to increase, Aehr believes demand for high-power production burn-in solutions will scale accordingly, expanding the market opportunity for the Sonoma platform.

The details

The order includes a large quantity of Aehr's Sonoma high-power package-level test and burn-in systems, along with fully turnkey burn-in modules (BIMs) and device-specific sockets. Deliveries under the order are expected to begin in Aehr's fiscal 2027. This customer is also developing a significantly higher-power AI accelerator ASIC expected to move to production later this year, and they have already placed an initial order with Aehr for multiple Sonoma systems to be used for production for that device.

  • The order is the largest in Aehr's history.
  • Deliveries under the order are expected to begin in Aehr's fiscal 2027, which starts on June 27, 2026.
  • This customer's significantly higher-power AI accelerator ASIC is expected to move to production later this year.

What they’re saying

“This $41 million follow-on order from our lead hyperscale package-level burn-in customer brings our bookings in the second half of our fiscal year to more than $92 million to date with six weeks remaining in the fourth quarter and a strong pipeline of forecasted customer orders in place.”

— Gayn Erickson, President and Chief Executive Officer

“This order further validates our Sonoma platform for high-volume production burn-in of very-high-power AI processor ASICs. Our Sonoma systems first entered production with this customer last year, and this new order reflects their continued ramp in capacity for current-generation devices.”

— Gayn Erickson, President and Chief Executive Officer

What’s next

Aehr expects a portion of the additional customer demand forecasted over the next few months to convert into bookings before the end of this fiscal year.

The takeaway

This record order from Aehr's lead hyperscale customer highlights the growing demand for high-power production burn-in solutions as AI processor complexity and power levels continue to increase, expanding the market opportunity for Aehr's Sonoma platform.
