Introducing our Sales Team!


Happy 30th Anniversary htt Dresden!
From 1992 until 2022: It's been a wild ride & it gets better and better!
Happy 30th Anniversary to our HTT Probe Card Facility in Dresden!.
Since 1992 the HTT Dresden Probe Cards Facility has been designing, developing & producing high sophisticated Made in Germany Probecards. In the beginning, our team in Dresden started with only 3 Team Members, 2 Probe Card Engineers and our long time CEO of our Dresden facility, Mr. Falk Schöne. In the meantime we have employed 20 Probe Card Engineers who build Cantilever-, Blade Type-, Kerf Microspring-, High Power-, Low and High Temperature-, Low Scrub-, Low Leakage/Ultra Low Leakage-, customised & special Probe Cards, as well as Mini Probers - the smallest Prober in the world.
Additionally, in our European Probe Cards Repair - and Servicecenter in Dresden - our Team provides repairs of all kinds of standard and advanced Probe Cards as well as the advanced Probe Cards from MPI Taiwan.
Our own Probe Card Production is ISO 9001:2015 certified in order to increase efficiency & productivity and meet the demands of todays process quality.
Our Dresden CEO Falk, retired last year after putting so much energy into HTT Dresden for 29 years in total and we are happy that one of our long term employees, Mr. Mike Strech has acceded the role successfully since then to direct HTT Group Dresden into a promising future!
All the best for the Team and keep being innovative, creative, team-oriented and motivated like in the past 30 years!

htt Group is the new Sales Partner of COHERENT
Happy to announce that htt Group is the official sales partner for Coherent for central Europe from now on.
A laser-focused legacy
Founded in California in 1966, Coherent is a global provider of lasers and laser-based technology for scientific, commercial and industrial customers.
With limited financial resources, the engineers who started Coherent established our first headquarters in the Palo Alto home of co-founder James Hobart.
At that time, the pressing need for a 220-volt power outlet forced our brain trust to build our first laser in a laundry room. In the summer of 1966, next to a washer and dryer, and using a piece of rain gutter as a key component, our founders began building our first laser. Four months later, we unveiled the very first CO₂ commercially available laser.
Today, Coherent is one of the world’s leading photonics innovators and manufacturers.

Aehr Receives $7.6 Million Order for WaferPak™ Full Wafer Contactors to Support Wafer Level Test and Burn-in of Silicon Carbide Power Devices for Electric Vehicles

________________________________________
FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR), a worldwide supplier of semiconductor test and reliability qualification equipment, today announced it has received a $7.6 million order from its lead silicon carbide test and burn-in customer for WaferPak™ full wafer Contactors to meet their increased production capacity needs. These WaferPaks are scheduled to be delivered over the next five months to accompany the FOX-XP systems previously ordered by this customer announced in September. Like the FOX-XP systems order, this order also includes down payments to lock in pricing and lead times.
Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems, commented, “These WaferPak Contactors accompany the previous $19 million order for FOX-XP production test systems from this customer to meet their capacity needs for testing silicon carbide devices used for power conversion in on-board and off-board electric vehicle chargers, as well as the traction inverters used in electric vehicle motor controllers. This customer, who is a leading Fortune 500 supplier of semiconductor devices with a significant customer base in the automotive semiconductor market, also expects demand for silicon carbide in other major markets, including home electric storage and solar power conversion.
“This order is for about two thirds of the WaferPaks needed to match the capacity of the FOX-XP systems this customer previously ordered, and we expect them to order additional WaferPaks to accompany the systems that are scheduled to be shipped over the next seven months. In addition to their forecast for additional WaferPaks this fiscal year, this customer forecasts significant additional system and WaferPak purchases, reflecting the growing demand for silicon carbide devices for electric vehicle and other applications that multiple industry forecasters and analysts expect to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 30% over the next decade.
“Our proprietary WaferPaks feature patented technology that enable our FOX-XP systems to make electrical and thermal contact to all the devices on the wafer at the same time in a portable contactor cassette without the need for an expensive wafer prober per wafer. The WaferPak and FOX-XP test system allows us to ensure that every device gets the targeted electrical and thermal burn-in conditions throughout the test and burn-in cycle and enables the customer to monitor and validate with 100% confidence that each device was tested and burned in properly.
“Every device is independently monitored on our FOX system, and key parametric measurements including voltages and currents are logged to determine exactly if and when a device fails during the burn-in cycle. This provides our customers with extremely valuable data to improve their manufacturing process and yield, and also enables them to remove weak devices before they are put into multi-die modules and single die discrete packages in the traction inverters and on-board chargers in electric vehicles. This is an enormously valuable capability, as it allows our customers to screen devices that would otherwise fail after they are packaged into multi-die modules, where the yield impact is 10 times or even 100 times as costly.
“Our FOX-XP systems and WaferPaks not only support 150mm diameter silicon carbide wafers shipping in volume today, but also the future 200mm wafers planned to be introduced over the next several years that are on most companies’ roadmaps.
“A report from Deloitte forecasts that the total electric vehicle industry will likely grow at a CAGR of 29% from 2020 to 2025, before reaching 31.1 million vehicles by 2030 and securing approximately 32% of the total market share for new car sales. And a research report from Canaccord Genuity dated this past September estimates that the total silicon carbide device market demand will reach over $40 billion by 2030, with automotive applications representing $21 billion of the total addressable market (TAM). These stats highlight the tremendous opportunity Aehr Test has in front of it with its wafer level test and burn-in solution for electric vehicle semiconductors.”
For more information on Aehr’s wafer level test and burn-in solutions for silicon carbide devices, please contact Aehr Test Systems’ EVP of Sales & Marketing, Vernon Rogers.
The FOX-XP system, available with multiple WaferPak Contactors (full wafer test) or multiple DiePak™ Carriers (singulated die/module test) configurations, is capable of functional test and burn-in/cycling of integrated devices such as silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, silicon photonics as well as other optical devices, 2D and 3D sensors, flash memories, Gallium Nitride (GaN), magnetic sensors, microcontrollers, and other leading-edge ICs in either wafer formfactor, before they are assembled into single or multi-die stacked packages, or in singulated die or module form factor.

The FOX-CP 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 test and burn-in of full wafers on Aehr Test FOX systems. The DiePak Carrier is a reusable, temporary package that enables IC manufacturers to perform cost-effective final test and burn-in of both bare die and modules.
