<P id=PARA56 style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25"><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman, Times, serif">Headquartered in Fremont, California, Aehr Test Systems is a worldwide provider of test systems for burning-in and testing logic and memory integrated circuits and has an installed base of more than 2,500 systems worldwide. Increased quality and reliability needs of the Automotive and Mobility integrated circuit markets are driving additional test requirements, capacity needs and opportunities for Aehr Test Systems products in package and wafer level test. Aehr Test Systems has developed and introduced several innovative products, including the ABTS<SUP style="vertical-align: baseline; position: relative; bottom:.33em;">TM</SUP> and FOX<SUP style="vertical-align: baseline; position: relative; bottom:.33em;">TM</SUP> families of test and burn-in systems and WaferPak<SUP style="vertical-align: baseline; position: relative; bottom:.33em;"> </SUP>contactors. The ABTS systems are used in production and qualification testing of packaged parts for both low-power and high-power logic as well as memory devices. The FOX family of systems includes single and multi-wafer full wafer contact test and burn-in systems used for burn-in and functional test of complex devices, such as leading-edge memories, digital signal processors, microprocessors, microcontrollers and systems-on-a-chip. The WaferPak<SUP style="vertical-align: baseline; position: relative; bottom:.33em;"> </SUP>contactor contains a unique full wafer probe card capable of testing wafers up to 300mm that enables IC manufacturers to perform test and burn-in of full wafers on Aehr Test FOX systems.
