Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) announced it received a follow-on production order from its lead silicon photonics customer for a fully automated FOX-XP wafer-level burn-in system, according to a press release dated July 9, 2026.

The order includes a FOX-XP multi-wafer system configured to test up to nine 300mm wafers in parallel, along with the FOX WaferPak AutoAligner, which enables hands-free operation when integrated with an automated wafer handler.

The customer's first FOX-XP system, delivered in Aehr's fiscal year 2026, has since been installed and demonstrated fully automated operation integrated with the customer's wafer handling equipment and an automated guided vehicle for 300mm wafer transport.

The silicon photonics devices produced by the customer are intended for use in optical interconnects and optical I/O architectures for AI and cloud data center applications.

"The successful installation and production qualification of our first fully-automated system with this customer represents another important milestone in our long-term relationship with them," said Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems.

Erickson added that the follow-on order arrived early in Aehr's fiscal year 2027 and said it "reflects the customer's continued confidence in Aehr's FOX-XP platform."
