March 27 2020 - 12:04PM
Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR), a worldwide supplier of
semiconductor test and reliability qualification equipment, today
issued the following letter from President and CEO Gayn Erickson
regarding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic:
Letter to our Employees, Customers, Shareholders, and
Vendors:
With the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic impacting all of us,
our foremost concern is to ensure the health and safety of our
employees, their families, and our worldwide community. On
March 19, 2020, the Executive Department of the State of California
issued Executive Order N-33-20 ordering individuals in the State of
California to stay at home or at their place of residence except as
needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal Critical
Infrastructure sectors. As a global supplier to Critical
Infrastructure as outlined
at https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19,
we are taking extraordinary measures to safely operate near
full capacity in manufacturing and across the company so that we
can support the vital needs of these Critical Infrastructure
customers while fully complying with the local and state mandated
“Shelter in Place” directives.
Through direct and indirect representatives, Aehr also has
engineers and infrastructure around the world to support our
customers and meet our contracts, response times, and critical
parts lead times for their installed base of Aehr Test systems,
WaferPaks™, DiePaks™, and accessories.
Wherever possible, Aehr employees continue to work from their
residences using the best possible remote communication and
collaboration tools, as well as securely accessing remote operation
of tools at our facilities and our customers’ sites. While working
remotely, our R&D and Applications teams are still highly
effective at collaborative design and review of our ongoing product
enhancement programs and customer applications and WaferPak or
DiePak designs to meet critical releases and customer product
roadmaps.
Where necessary to meet the critical shipment and support needs
of our Critical Infrastructure customers, including onsite
work at our facilities or customer locations, Aehr intends to
meet the strictest interpretations of social distancing.
All of our customers, employees, shareholders, and vendors are
extremely important to us and we are doing everything we can to
support the safety and well-being of our community as well as the
needs of our Critical Infrastructure customers. At this time, we
expect and believe that Aehr and our customers will weather this
storm and be glad we took these precautionary measures during this
unprecedented time.
Regards,
Gayn

test systems for burning-in and testing logic, optical and memory
integrated circuits and has installed over 2,500 systems worldwide.
Increased quality and reliability needs of the Automotive and
Mobility integrated circuit markets are driving additional test
requirements, incremental capacity needs, and new opportunities for
Aehr Test products in package, wafer level, and singulated

several innovative products, including the ABTSTM and FOX-PTM
families of test and burn-in systems and FOX WaferPakTM Aligner,

testing of packaged parts for both lower power and higher power
logic devices as well as all common types of memory devices. The
FOX-XP and FOX-NP systems are full wafer contact and singulated
die/module test and burn-in systems used for burn-in and functional
test of complex devices, such as leading-edge memories, digital

system is a new low-cost single-wafer compact test and reliability
verification solution for logic, memory and photonic devices and
the newest addition to the FOX-P product family. The WaferPak
contactor contains a unique full wafer probe card capable of
testing wafers up to 300mm that enables IC manufacturers to perform
