CrayoNano with proven technology and scalable production
Last update from July on the Horizon 2020 (EIC) grant to CrayoNano, proving the technology with a scalable production.
This means the world most powerful UV-C LED with the lowest production cost.

Excerpts:
"Our breakthrough UVC LED technology will provide: a) High wall plug efficiency of 12%, which is in the range of mercury lamps and 60-91% higher efficiency than current market-available UVC LEDs. b) Longest lifetime at 20,000 hours, which is equivalent to that of some industrial mercury lamps. c) High optical power of 250mW (at 500 mA) resulting in by far the highest intensity on the UVC LED market. d) Low cost at €50/W, which is up to significantly cheaper than existing UVC LEDs."
"CrayoNano has developed and packaged a 45mil SteriLED chip demonstrator (WP1). The SteriLED architecture design has been successful in showing UVC LED emission combined with complete absence of dislocations. Analyses of prototype samples of nanowire structured LEDs have repeatedly demonstrated a core underpinning of this novel technology: threading dislocations, the main drawback of traditional thin-film LED technology, have been completely prevented through the use of nanowire structured LEDs. Thus, CrayoNano’s technology indeed has the potential to disrupt the competitive landscape and state of the art UV-C LED technology through higher power, longer life, higher yields, and thus lower costs. An optimized production line of well over tens of thousands of chips per day has resulted in high product yield for CrayoNano’s first UVC LED product (WP2), well demonstrating the commercial potential for our disruptive UV-C LED chip technology."
