September 10, 2010... Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. (SETI) reports that it has entered a Joint Development Agreement with Kyma Technologies, Inc. of Raleigh, NC to develop low defect AlGaN substrates and high performance optoelectronic and electronic devices based on these substrates. Kyma will develop and produced the aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) substrates. Kyma Technologies, Inc. (Kyma) is a supplier of crystalline III-nitride semiconductor materials including GaN and AlN. UV LEDs require a lattice constant that is between that of aluminum and gallium nitride. For this reason, AlGaN substrates are preferred. Under the agreement, Kyma will work on developing lower-defect density AlGaN substrates.

SETI will center its device development efforts on using the low defect AlGaN substrates developed and produced by Kyma to develop next generation high efficiency Deep UV LEDs for markets in high power applications such as water disinfection.
