Cohu Inc. (NASDAQ: COHU) announced it received multiple orders totaling approximately $5 million from a semiconductor manufacturer for its DiamondX platform. The equipment will support development and manufacturing of gallium nitride power devices used in AI data center power architectures.

The San Diego-based company supplies equipment and services for semiconductor manufacturing. The DiamondX platform provides high-current capability, ultra-low resistance measurement accuracy and scalable multi-site throughput for testing power devices.

GaN power devices are used in AI data center power stages, including AC-DC front-end conversion, high-voltage DC-DC modules and point-of-load power management integrated circuits. The technology addresses increasing power density and thermal constraints as AI accelerators and high-performance processing nodes require more power.

"AI data centers are fundamentally changing the performance requirements for power semiconductors," said Luis Müller, Cohu President and CEO. "GaN devices offer compelling efficiency and power density advantages, and the DiamondX platform enables customers to test accurately and economically at scale as they move from device characterization to high-volume production."

The company stated the orders expand its position in the AI data center market and reflect demand for higher-power and higher-efficiency power conversion. Cohu said it continues to invest in power test architectures aligned with customer needs for AI infrastructure and industrial and automotive electrification markets.

Cohu was founded in 1947 and provides test, automation, inspection and metrology products, software analytics solutions and services to the semiconductor industry. The information is based on a company press release.
