Next: Deep Depletion Up: CCD Scientific Performance Previous: Energy resolution . Conventional CCDs are illuminated through a front-surface electrode structure which may be m thick. This severely limits the sub-keV detection efficiency. They also have a detection volume defined by the depletion layer depth of m. This should be compared with, for example, the 1/e attenuation length for 6keV photons which is m; hence CCD sensitivity falls rapidly with increasing energy. ... Deep Depletion . ...

The problem of quantum efficiency hysteresis (QEH) due to back-side charge accumulation has been reviewed in detail by Griffiths, et al. (1989), and Janesick and Elliot (1991). QEH is not present in the Loral CCDs, because they are front-side illuminated and incorporate MPP operation. ... The absence of QEH means that the devices do not need to be UV-flooded and so decontamination procedures are planned without the constraint of maintaining the UV-flood. ...
