    Aehr Test Systems Shifts 95% of Revenue to AI Processors and Silicon Photonics

    Question

    Aehr Test Systems Shifts 95% of Revenue to AI Processors and Silicon Photonics

    Direct answer

    Aehr Test Systems has restructured its top-line exposure, migrating from electric vehicle power semiconductor testing to high-performance AI compute and optical interconnect validation. In fiscal 2026, AI processors and silicon photonics generate approximately 95% of company revenue, reversing an identical concentration in EV silicon carbide two years prior. The technological shift comes as optical interconnect architectures require rigorous wafer-level burn-in to eliminate infant mortality in high-density datacenters. A $22 million follow-on contract secured in August demonstrates ongoing capacity deployment by semiconductor packaging customers despite broader macro volatility.
