FREMONT, Calif., March 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR), a worldwide supplier of semiconductor test and reliability qualification equipment, will be showcasing its FOX-P™ multi-wafer test and burn-in solutions for high volume production and early failure rate (EFR) test of silicon photonic and laser devices at booth #3231 during the 2020 OFC Optical Networking and Communications Conference taking place March 10-12 in San Diego, CA at the San Diego Convention Center.

The FOX systems provide the ability to stabilize laser optical performance, which is critical for the silicon photonics market. Aehr will feature its FOX-XP™, FOX-NP™ and FOX-CP™ functional test and burn-in systems for single and multi-wafer, singulated die and modules.

Aehr Test President and CEO Gayn Erickson commented, “Aehr Test supplies complete test and burn-in solutions for engineering and production of laser and photonics devices to ensure they meet their initial quality and long-term reliability requirements of the data center, network and 5G infrastructure markets. Aehr is delivering wafer-level and singulated die/module engineering and production test and burn-in cost-effective solutions to meet new product design challenges.

“We are very optimistic about the silicon photonics market as a significant growth opportunity driver for Aehr. Market research company Yole Développement predicts silicon photonics technology will grow from being used in a few percent of the total optical transceiver market in 2016 to 35% of the market in 2025, with a market value for transceivers of almost $4 billion in 2025.”

About Aehr Test Systems
Headquartered in Fremont, California, Aehr Test Systems is a worldwide provider of test systems for burning-in and testing logic, optical and memory integrated circuits and has installed over 2,500 systems worldwide. Increased quality and reliability needs of the Automotive and Mobility integrated circuit markets are driving additional test requirements, incremental capacity needs, and new opportunities for Aehr Test products in package, wafer level, and singulated die/module level test. Aehr Test has developed and introduced several innovative products, including the ABTS™ and FOX-P™ families of test and burn-in systems and FOX WaferPak™ Aligner, FOX-XP WaferPak Contactor, FOX DiePak^® Carrier and FOX DiePak Loader. The ABTS system is used in production and qualification testing of packaged parts for both lower power and higher power logic devices as well as all common types of memory devices. The FOX-XP and FOX-NP systems are full wafer contact and singulated die/module test and burn-in systems used for burn-in and functional test of complex devices, such as leading-edge memories, digital signal processors, microprocessors, microcontrollers, systems-on-a-chip, and integrated optical devices. The FOX-CP system is a new low-cost single-wafer compact test and reliability verification solution for logic, memory and photonic devices and the newest addition to the FOX-P product family. The WaferPak contactor contains a unique full wafer probe card capable of testing wafers up to 300mm that enables IC manufacturers to perform test and burn-in of full wafers on Aehr Test FOX systems. The DiePak Carrier is a reusable, temporary package that enables IC manufacturers to perform cost-effective final test and burn-in of both bare die and modules.
