      AEHR TEST SYSTEMS RECEIVES MTX ORDER FROM VIKING INTERWORKS

Fremont, CA (January 6, 2005) -- Aehr Test Systems (Nasdaq: AEHR), a leading
supplier of semiconductor test and burn-in equipment, today announced it has
received an order for its new MTX model Fp+ test during burn-in system from
Viking InterWorks, the Memory Module Division of Sanmina-SCI.  The system
was shipped in December of 2004.

"Outstanding reliability is a critical supplier criterion of our customers,
and the MTX-Fp+ helps us achieve that requirement," said Paul Sweere, Vice
President of Engineering for Viking InterWorks.  "Aehr Test Systems has been
a valuable partner augmenting our engineering team to help us develop
effective stress and test programs to screen our 256Mb and 512Mb DDR DRAMs,
designing effective burn-in test boards, initially testing our devices in
their facility, and working collaboratively to optimize monitored burn-in
effectiveness and product reliability."

"The order is for a turnkey production solution for burn-in and testing of
advanced memories," said Bill Barraclough, director of marketing of Aehr Test
Systems.  "We believe that the MTX-Fp+ system is ideal for manufacturers who
produce DRAM or flash memories, or both.  This dual functionality is a
cost-effective solution, as it allows manufacturers to use the same capital
equipment for test and burn-in as the product mix changes.  The MTX-Fp+ system
is an enhanced version of Aehr Test's MTX Massively Parallel Test System.
The system adds the capability to burn-in and perform parallel test of flash
memories, in addition to its traditional parallel test and burn-in of DRAMs.
For both applications, the MTX-Fp+ system burns-in and functionally tests
more than 12,000 devices simultaneously."
