We outline the recent developments in CCD imager technology aimed at producing the very large format (8192 × 8192 pixels and larger) detector mosaics required for existing 4-m class and new 8 to 10-m class telescopes. The key technology areas include buttable array design and buttable element packaging, and optimization schemes for QE and readout time. As an example, we highlight the University of Hawaii effort to develop an 8192 × 8192 15 μm pixel CCD mosaic.
