The discovery of the lateral photo effect by Prof. J.T Wallmark and the development of the Position Sensing Detectors (PSD) during the sixties led to the foundation of SiTek Laboratories AB in 1976, with the aim of exploring commercial applications for the technology. Foundation took place at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden and in the beginning production was carried out by the founders working part time at the university's Institute of Solid State Electronics.
