AEHR, or Aehr Test Systems, specializes in manufacturing and providing advanced solutions for semiconductor burn-in and test. These specialized products are crucial for ensuring the reliability and quality of semiconductors, particularly those destined for the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market.
Core Offerings: Semiconductor Capital Equipment
Aehr Test Systems is a prominent player in the Semiconductor Capital Equipment Industry. This means they produce the essential machinery and systems that semiconductor manufacturers utilize in their production processes. Their primary focus is on the critical phases of:
- Semiconductor Burn-In: This process involves operating integrated circuits at elevated temperatures and voltages for a specific period to accelerate failure mechanisms. It helps identify and eliminate potentially unreliable devices before they are shipped, ensuring only robust components are used in final products.
- Semiconductor Test: Following burn-in, devices undergo comprehensive testing to verify their functional performance and electrical characteristics against specified parameters. This ensures the semiconductors perform as intended in real-world applications.
Serving the Electric Vehicle Market
A key strategic area for AEHR's solutions is the electric vehicle (EV) market. As EVs become more sophisticated, the demand for highly reliable and high-performance semiconductors, such as power management integrated circuits and microcontrollers, is rapidly increasing. AEHR's equipment plays a vital role in validating these critical components, which are essential for the safety, efficiency, and longevity of electric vehicles.
By providing advanced burn-in and test solutions, AEHR directly supports the quality assurance of semiconductors that power everything from EV batteries and charging systems to autonomous driving features, contributing to the overall reliability of the electric vehicle ecosystem.
