Insights
Partnership expands wafer-level burn-in and test capacity for HPC/AI; operationally useful but lacks financial detail.
The collaboration links Aehr Test Systems and ISE Labs to offer wafer-level test and burn-in services aimed at high-performance computing and AI processors. The announcement describes complementary capabilities: Aehr's wafer- and package-level burn-in technology and ISE Labs' qualification and production test experience, creating a turnkey service for producing known good die (KGD) and supporting CoWoS and optical interconnect needs.
Key dependencies and risks include customer adoption of wafer-level burn-in versus downstream test flows, throughput and yield performance of the deployed systems, and the ability to scale to production volumes; the release provides no contract terms, capacity commitments, timelines, or revenue metrics, so commercial impact remains uncertain. Watch for disclosed pilot results, volume production agreements, and any
FREMONT, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2025 / Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR), a worldwide supplier of semiconductor test and burn-in solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with ISE Labs, Inc., a leading provider of semiconductor engineering services, to deliver advanced wafer-level test and burn-in services tailored for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. ISE Labs is a subsidiary of ASE, Inc., the world's leading provider of outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) services.
Through this partnership, Aehr and ISE Labs will deliver advanced wafer-level test and burn-in services designed for next-generation HPC and AI applications.
Aehr and ISE Labs share a long history of collaboration and innovation, including the first installed base of Aehr's Sonoma high-power packaged part test systems. ISE Labs was also the first lab to purchase Aehr's FOX-NP™ system for wafer-level burn-in of silicon photonics devices, underscoring the companies' shared commitment to advancing semiconductor test technology.
Strategically located in Silicon Valley, ISE Labs is uniquely positioned to accelerate the development and deployment of cutting-edge solutions for HPC and AI, supporting the surging demand for advanced heterogeneous integration and optical interconnect technologies.
As demand for chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) technology continues to rise, the ability to deliver known good die (KGD) has become critical for maximizing device yields and controlling costs. Detecting latent issues early in production saves significant time and resources compared to identifying them only at the final packaging stage. Production burn-in remains essential for ensuring HPC device performance and long-term reliability.
Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems, commented, "Our collaboration with ISE represents a unique model in the industry. 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."
Vijay Israni, Vice President, New Product Introduction at ISE Labs, stated, "We are excited to announce this partnership with Aehr, combining ISE's engineering and manufacturing expertise with Aehr's advanced wafer-level burn-in technology. Together, we are bringing breakthrough capabilities to the HPC and AI markets while delivering performance and time to market advantages to our customers."
