Aehr Test Systems to be Represented in China by ZMC Technologies
FREMONT, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aehr Test Systems (Nasdaq: AEHR - News), a leading supplier of test and burn-in equipment to semiconductor manufacturers, today announced it has arranged for ZMC Technologies to be Aehr Test's sales representative in China.
C.J. Meurell, president and chief operating officer of Aehr Test Systems said, "Aehr Test realizes how critical it is for us to increase our involvement in the China market, which we believe is on the verge of dramatic economic expansion. With their knowledge of the economic territory and expertise with semiconductor products and services, ZMC has presented us with the best option for gaining business in China."
Lawrence Lee, president of ZMC Group of Companies said, "We are very pleased to be appointed Aehr Test Systems' representative in China. Our experience in that country and industry puts us in a very strategic position to help realize our business partners' business objectives. At ZMC Technologies, innovation and quality are of utmost importance and we are glad to be able to bring that to the Chinese semiconductor industry."
Chris Noe, vice-president of worldwide sales and support of Aehr Test, said, "We prefer ZMC because they have highly qualified technical personnel with experience in the area of semiconductors, especially wafer testing and burn-in. We believe that ZMC's personnel have the skills and knowledge to fully represent the technological details of our products."
Meurell commented, "Aehr Test's newest innovation, the FOX(TM) Full Wafer Contact test and burn-in system, performs burn-in and parallel functional test of ICs while still in wafer form and thus may greatly reduce manfacturers' equipment costs. The wafer may afterwards undergo final test and be prepared for standard packaging, chip-scale packaging (CSP), or flipchip applications. This equipment should be an excellent match for China's emerging semiconductor backend operations."
