In depth · editorial + model · written 2026-07-13
Cohu supplies the back-end of chip manufacturing — the test handlers, contactors and interface hardware that move finished dies through electrical test and burn-in, across processors, memory and analog parts. It sits after fabrication, at the stage where chips are proven good before they ship.
Its exposure is to test-and-burn-in capacity: as accelerator and memory volumes grow, so does the need to screen every part, and Cohu's consumable contactors give it a recurring, install-base-linked stream rather than pure equipment cyclicality. Still, back-end test is a smaller and more competitive slice of the tool chain than deposition or lithography, which places it structurally at the periphery of the AI build-out.
