Aehr Test Systems has announced a partnership with ISE Labs to deliver advanced wafer-level test and burn-in services focused on high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor devices. ISE Labs is a subsidiary of ASE, which provides outsourced semiconductor assembly and test services. The collaboration aims to address the needs of advanced chip technologies such as chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS), targeting markets where device reliability, yield, and early defect detection are critical, including data centers and high-density compute applications.
Aehr’s FOX-NP system, deployed by ISE Labs, performs wafer-level burn-in for silicon photonics devices, which are central to next-generation optical interconnects. ISE Labs also uses Aehr’s Sonoma systems for high-power packaged part testing. The FOX-XP and FOX-NP systems provide full-wafer contact and singulated die testing, supporting devices like silicon carbide-based semiconductors, memory, microcontrollers, and photonic components. The FOX WaferPak Contactor enables full-wafer test and burn-in of up to 300 mm wafers, while the FOX DiePak Carrier allows for parallel testing of up to 1,024 singulated die per DiePak.
This combined test solution is designed to help semiconductor manufacturers, particularly those supporting data center infrastructure and AI acceleration, deliver known good die, avoid latent defects, and improve device reliability. Improving early detection saves time and money by identifying failures well before final packaging.
“Our collaboration with ISE represents a unique model in the industry,” said Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems. “Aehr’s technology leadership in wafer-level and package-level burn-in, combined with ISE’s demonstrated capabilities in qualification and production test and burn-in of the world’s leading AI processors, creates a complete turnkey solution for customers wanting to accelerate their time to market for their devices.”
Additional information regarding Aehr’s full product portfolio—such as the FOX-PTM test and burn-in systems, FOX WaferPak Aligner, FOX DiePak Loader, and the ultra-high-power Sonoma systems for AI accelerators and HPC processors—is available on Aehr’s website.
