Seoul Viosys brings CSP manufacturing technology to the UV-LED sector

Seoul Viosys, the ultraviolet (UV)-focused business division of Seoul Semiconductor, has announced that it will soon commercialize UV LEDs based on chip-scale packaging (CSP) technology, and that it had been awarded a patent for the technology development behind the UV WICOP LED design. Presumably, the CSP implementation will lower the manufacturing cost for UV LEDs while also providing a path to improved performance and lifetime.  Seoul Semiconductor has been among the industry leaders in developing and selling CSP LED technology in visible-white-light components. The company refers to the portfolio as WICOP (wafer-level integrated chip on PCB) and Seoul began volume production for the general illumination market in 2016. The company had previously supplied CSP LEDs into display backlight and automotive applications.
