Executive Summary :

The project focuses primarily on production of solar blind sensors with good qualities as well as rational design of novel conceptual devices. On the other hand, large-area uniformity of material preparation, long-term stability and durability, large-scale production and integration, as well as environmental-friendly processing techniques of the devices are the most pivotal issues that require more research efforts from the perspective of space applications.
