Abstract Diamond is a promising ultrawide-bandgap semiconductor, which has drawn much attention in deep-ultraviolet optoelectronics and high-power electronics, due to its unique properties, including the highest thermal conductivity, strong radiation resistance, high breakdown electric field, chemical and thermal stability, and high carrier mobility. However, the optoelectronics applications have been restricted greatly by the small growth size of the single-crystal diamond. In this work, we demonstrate a solar-blind photodetector linear array based on high-quality 2-inch polycrystalline diamond, which has the advantage of large-area growth. The photodetector cells exhibit good uniformity, a responsivity of 45 mA/W at 228 nm with a cut-off wavelength of 240 nm, and a short response time of
