Aehr Test Systems Shares Jump 12% After FOX-XP Burn-In Order
AEHR•Aehr Test Systems received a follow-on order for its fully automated FOX-XP wafer-level burn-in system from a leading data center optical transceiver provider, seven months after the initial purchase. The unnamed customer plans to buy additional equipment this calendar year, with delivery of the current order scheduled within six months.
1. Follow-On Order Details
Aehr Test Systems secured a follow-on order for its fully automated FOX-XP wafer-level burn-in system from a leading networking products and solutions provider in the data center optical transceiver market. This repeat purchase, following an initial order seven months earlier, will be delivered over the next six months with additional equipment expected later this year.
2. System Functionality
The FOX-XP system employs robotic handling to perform electrical and thermal stress tests on semiconductor wafers before they are singulated into individual dies. These tests validate wafer durability and endurance, ensuring reliability for silicon photonics-based optical transceivers used in high-speed data center networking.
3. Growth Outlook
Demand for semiconductor test equipment is rising as data center architectures transition from copper to fiber optic interconnects driven by AI infrastructure buildout. The unnamed customer’s planned additional purchases this calendar year position Aehr Test Systems for potential multiyear revenue expansion in the silicon photonics market.
