For nearly 50 years, Lehighton Electronics has defied the odds. Located far from the usual technology hotspots—Santa Clara, Raleigh/Durham, Portland, and the others—we’ve chosen a different path.
From our facility in rural northeastern Pennsylvania, LEI has engaged in ongoing research and development, working in partnership with some of the finest engineering minds of our time, all in pursuit of ever more accurate, nondestructive metrology instruments.
The approach has paid off, too; a recent third-party analysis of intellectual property development put Lehighton Electronics, Inc. among the leaders of technical advancement in the semiconductor industry.
One of the things we like best about working in the semiconductor industry is the collective unwillingness to accept the status quo. Our customers share our passion for moving forward, and that’s just one of the things we have in common.
We’re happy to work on the leading edge of semiconductor metrology technology; the industry drives an increasingly steep line of innovation and improvement, but you can count on us to be here for years to come, producing breakthrough after breakthrough.
LEI is a true pioneer in the design and development of contactless metrology instrumentation.
