About Cohu
Cohu supplies equipment and services for testing finished semiconductors. Its handlers move chips through testers at temperature extremes, its contactors form the electrical connection during test, and its inspection systems check devices for defects. Revenue mixes equipment sales with a recurring contactor and service business.
Main lines include test handlers, contactors, Neon inspection metrology, and the DI-Core data analytics platform that ties test floors together. Most demand today comes from automotive, mobile, and industrial chipmakers, with HBM and AI device test emerging as a growth market. Longer test times for stacked memory and accelerators expand the handler and contactor market Cohu serves.
Founded in 1947 and headquartered in San Diego, CA, Cohu employs about 2,800 people and lists on NASDAQ under COHU.
Cohu in the AI buildout
Cohu sits in the Chip Equipment layer on the back end test side. Every chip, including AI accelerators and HBM memory, must be handled, contacted, and inspected during final test, and rising test intensity for stacked memory expands the equipment those steps consume. Cohu's exposure is early stage: its revenue base remains weighted to automotive, mobile, and industrial devices, so AI test demand is an incremental driver layered on a broad cyclical business rather than its core engine today.
COHU is tracked in Chip Equipment & Foundries, rated Growing on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
