Deep-UV LED maker SETi nominated for South Carolina Manufacturer of the Year Award

Deep ultraviolet (UV) LED maker Sensor Electronic Technology Inc (SETi) of Columbia, SC, USA has been recognized by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce as one of 12 outstanding manufacturers to be put forward for the South Carolina Manufacturer of the Year Award.

SETi has pioneered the development and manufacturing of semiconductor materials using aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaN) and supplies UV LEDs using these materials.

UV LEDs can be used in applications from sensing and detection of harmful gases and airborne diseases to disinfection of water, surfaces and air in markets including medical, industrial, military and consumer.

Over the past few years, SETi’s UV LED products have been transferred from research to production and the firm now operates production procedures certified to ISO9001 standards. Despite the economic climate, SETi’s business has more than doubled in the last two years and the company is now planning a large expansion to further ramp its UV LED production capacity.
