Abstract

This paper reports the development of solar-blind aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) 128×128 UV Focal Plane Arrays (FPAs). The back-illuminated hybrid FPA architecture consists of an 128×128 back-illuminated AlGaN PIN detector array that is bump-mounted to a matching 128×128 silicon CMOS readout integrated circuit (ROIC) chip. The 128×128 p-i-n photodiode arrays with cuton and cutoff wavelengths of 233 and 258 nm, with a sharp reduction in response to UVB (280–320 nm) light. Several examples of solar-blind images are provided. This solar-blind band FPA has much better application prospect.
