Aehr Test Systems Receives New Order for Silicon Photonics IC Testing
Aehr Test Systems has received a follow-on purchase order from its lead silicon photonics customer for production wafer-level test and burn-in of silicon photonics integrated circuits used in data center optical interconnects and emerging optical I/O architectures for AI processors. The order reflects expanding production volumes as demand accelerates for optical connectivity solutions powering next-generation AI training and inference infrastructure. The order includes: One new ultra-high-power FOX-XP wafer-level test and burn-in system with full 300mm SECS/GEM automation, and An upgrade of an existing FOX-XP system to the new ultra-high power, fully automated configuration. Each system is configured to test up to nine 300mm wafers in parallel at up to 3500 watts per wafer and supports up to nine FOX WaferPak proprietary full-wafer contactors. The systems also include Aehr's fully integrated FOX WaferPak AutoAligner for hands-free, high-volume production. Aehr expects to ship the systems in the second half of calendar 2026.
