Description:
An electrooptical characterization encompassing linearity, blooming, dark-count rate, charge-transfer efficiency (CTE), and quantum efficiency, is presented for a front/side-illuminated CCD with 512x512 format and 27x27-micron pixels. The detailed noise characteristics of the CCD-output FET are reported. While very good low light level CTE is obtained in the parallel-shift direction, CTE problems arise in the serial direction. The output FET noise is equivalent to 5-12 electrons, depending on FET operating conditions and system bandwidth.
