Paper Abstract
We report the most recent work of our group of the development of avalanche photo diodes based on (Al)GaN. The goal
of this group is to achieve single photon counting. In this paper we first give the scientific motivation for making such a
device in the context of UV astronomy and then describe current work and plans for future development. The
development includes improving the sensitivity to be able to carry out single photon detection and the fabrication of
arrays.
