Essentially, the project goal is to develop a small, low-cost, highly reliable UV detector, with high responsivity in UV range up to deep UV, fully tested at laboratory scale, as a preliminary step to prototype fabrication. The basic properties of the demonstrators such as responsivity, response time, recovery time, repeatability and stability will be carefully characterized.

The main phases of process flow are consisting of the project specific objectives:

- O1. To bring new knowledge related to electrical properties of the novel SiC based PDs.
- O2. To efficiently engineer the SiC based PDs, formed with either metallic ultra-thin films or nanoparticles.
- O3. To obtain the optimum design and easily reproducible technology for SB PDs based on SiC.
