NOEL TECH, LLC
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA

About Noel Technologies Noel Technologies, Inc. is a Silicon Valley based foundry focused on process development, optimization and delivery. An ISO 9001 registered facility, Noel Technologies was established in 1996 by a team of high technology veterans. Serving markets as diverse as semiconductor to life sciences, and covering a wide range of applications, Noel delivers services to complement and enhance any company’s internal capabilities. We only manufacture YOUR products, so your IP is safe with us. Since it’s inception, Noel Technologies has built a vast knowledge of process development and optimization and will readily share their knowledge to produce a product at the best price, delivered in the best time. The fabless business model has emerged over the last decade in the semiconductor and MEMS industries to offset the escalating costs of equipment purchase and manufacturing. Building a fab can be difficult due to permit requirements, not to mention the lead-time to acquire the equipment and build the facility. Out-sourcing small runs to offshore fabs can be costly and time consuming. The increasing costs of technology R&D along with slower revenue growth will continue to drive the expansion of the fabless model. Noel Technologies is strategically positioned to provide IDMs with a bridge from Lab idea to fabrication. Our long history of process development and optimization can be the perfect solution for your project. With an established quality focus, an online document control system, and continual training and certification of employees, each customer requirement and project is handled with precision documentation and personal care and attention.

About Noel Tech About Leon Pearce - Founder & CTO of Noel Technologies, Inc. . Pearce began his career in 1967 as an applications engineer at Hewlett Packard, a leader in test equipment at that time. The following year he was recruited by Intersil Semiconductor to work under Jean Hoerni, one of the "Traitorous Eight" who had departed Shockley Semiconductor to form Fairchild Semiconductor, innovators in p-n-p transistors and planar technology. During this time, Leon was instrumental in identifying serious problems with the company's integrated circuits, also known as low power CMOS. He helped develop a manufacturable method to insure that Intersil's "watch circuits" were compatible with bipolar technologies, while also improving the yields that allowed the company to dominate the watch market. Leon's efforts made Intersil the first mass producer of low power CMOS products.  In 1975, following a two-year stint as an independent consultant for German-based ITT, Pearce founded Semi Process Incorporated (SPI), a manufacturer of small signal lateral DMOS, power vertical DMOS, and gate arrays. At SPI he devised another innovation, the portable fabrication facility or "Porta-Fab." Initially he intended to sell the Porta-Fab to universities as a low-cost development center, but even this affordable option was beyond most institutions' means at the time. Undaunted, he moved the modules to a rented building in Santa Clara, where SPI used them for its own purposes. In addition to creating a new line of semiconductors, SPI developed and produced a gate array that could be customized to meet clients' individual electrical requirements at a fraction of the cost of a customized semiconductor. In 1977 Pearce's former colleague and mentor Jean Hoerni invested in & joined SPI. Hoerni and Pearce won the heated race within the industry to develop high voltage DMOS technologies, later known as the HEX FET, the replacement for bipolar applications in a variety of industries. In 1980 Pearce founded Si Fab, a manufacturer of semiconductor products for Fairchild and other industry giants. He grew the small company to 50 employees, expanded the customer base, and second sourced Syntertek's E2 products and military products until changes in Federal administrative policy brought the military business to an end. From 1996 to the present day, Pearce has captained Noel Technologies, Inc., where his technical, processing, and application/equipment experience, coupled with his entrepreneurial ingenuity, enables our company and our clients to remain "market ready" and ride the cutting edge of the latest technologies.
