SET's Background
 History

SET develops and manufactures advanced assembly equipments and Nanoimprint Lithography solutions for the semiconductor market. Since 1975, we have pioneered in the development of flip chip bonders for Infrared sensors & optoelectronics applications.

1975 Establishment of Sulzer Electro-Technique (S.E.T.) by M. Jean Schmidt
1993 S.E.T joined Karl SUSS Group
Adding Spin Coaters and Device Bonders to the SUSS Portfolio
2001 Karl SUSS France is renamed SUSS MicroTec SAS and fulfill two missions:
