Visible-blind UV cameras based on a 32 x 32 array of backside-illuminated G
aN/AlGaN p-i-n photodiodes have been successfully demonstrated. The photodi
ode arrays were hybridized to silicon readout integrated circuits (ROICs) u
sing In bump bonds. Output from the UV cameras were recorded at room temper
ature at frame rates of 30-240 Hz. These new visible-blind digital cameras
are sensitive to radiation from 285-365 nm in the UV spectral region.
