The successful development of both discrete UV photodiodes and large-format UV imaging arrays consisting of 128x128 and 320x256 AlGaN p-i-n photodiodes is reported. Detectors and detector arrays have been succesfully developed to sense radiation in the 300-365 nm visible-blind and 240-285 nm solar-blind portions of the UV spectral region. Details of the device synthesis and processing are discussed, including flip-chip bonding procedures employed to mate the UV photodiode arrays to silicon read - out integrated circuits (ROICs). A selection of UV images obtained using these new large-format UV digital imagers is in included.
