August 6, 2007 Contact: Andy Scholeck (610) 377-5990 LEI Announces Recent AZZURRO Purchase Lehighton, PA.— Lehighton Electronics, Inc., (LEI) a leading provider of contactless process control equipment, has announced AZZURRO Semiconductor AG's purchase of a Model 1610P030SFAM nondestructive mobility system. AZZURRO - a pure-play epi foundry for Gallium Nitride which was formed out of Professor Alois Krost's renowned research team at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany - will
use the 1610 as part of their production and R&D efforts for GaN on Si wafers. AZZURRO has pioneered the growth of large-diameter GaN on Si, being the first to grow thick, crack-free GaN on Si substrates as
large as 150 mm. Dr. Armin Dadgar, CTO of AZZURRO says "The 1610 will significantly speed up our development of wafers for high-voltage and RF devices and increase yield. In particular, the unique contactless carrier
mobility measurements will be an important tool for high frequency wafer development and continuous quality control." The sale will be LEI's first permanent-magnet system to be installed in the EU. The Model
P030SFAM enables non-destructive carrier property measurements based on LEI's patented microwave method. It incorporates automation similar to that of a Model 1510, and offers these features in a compact, space-saving
design. "The sale to AZZURRO is an important step for LEI," said the company's President, Austin Blew. "GaN on Si is an emerging hybrid that holds real promise for the compound semiconductor market. We're
excited that AZZURRO chose the 1610, and we look forward to enabling them to further their development efforts." In business since 1963, LEI has been supplying contactless metrology equipment since selling
its first measurement systems to leading Silicon wafer producers in the 1970s. LEI instruments are currently installed in hundreds of facilities worldwide, where they are used primarily for process control of
compound semiconductor wafers. Additional applications include 300 mm Si wafers, as well as rigid and flexible flat panel measurements. LEI is an active participant and leader in various SEMI Standards and ASTM
International committees, subcommittees and task forces; it leverages this standards expertise to develop instruments that enable customers to attain the highest levels of quality. April 26, 2006 Contact: Matt Cordes (610) 377-5990 LEI Announces Recent Shipments to FED (Japan) Lehighton, PA.—Lehighton Electronics,
Inc., of Lehighton, Pennsylvania recently shipped a Model 1610E100 non-destructive carrier mobility system to FED
in Japan for R&D of GaN HFET devices. The FED research effort is supported by NEDO, as a project for the development of a low-power, high-frequency device using a nitride semiconductor. For more information on the NEDO project, please visit
January 24, 2006 Contact: Matt Cordes (610) 377-5990 LEI Announces Recent Shipments to Japan Lehighton, PA.— Lehighton Electronics, Inc. (LEI) of Lehighton Pennsylvania,
recently shipped contactless sheet resistance instruments to two customers in Japan. Tokyo Denpa
(Tokyo, Japan) is now using their first new LEI Model 1510A instrument. The 1510A brings measurement and mapping capabilities similar to the popular 1510B and 1510C to a price point that will appeal to low-volume applications. The 1510A will enable Tokyo Denpa to monitor process control and maximize yield of ZnO substrates, and will be in use in a Research & Development capacity.
Tokyo Denpa comments: "We are impressed by the excellent repeatability and easy operation of the LEI 1510A. We believe its good reputation in compound semiconductor technology will contribute for our research and
development." Also, Showa Denko
recently selected the LEI 1510C measurement system. According to the customer, the LEI 1510 series has the best resolution of any contactless Rs measurement system in the world. Their decision to purchase the 1510C was based on the 1510's superior performance capabilities.
