Abstract

The Tektronix CCD Manufacturing Group has applied their thinning back surface enhancement and anti-reflection coating processes to produce a 1024 by 1024 chargecoupled device imager with high quantum efficiency (QE) from 350 to 1 100 nm. The TK1O24AB device designed for scientific imaging applications features low noise wide dynamic range excellent charge transfer efficiency and low dark current. The quad-output architecture permits the simultaneous readout of each quarter of the device reducing the time to read out the CCD to that of a 5 12 by 512 device. This paper summarizes the test results from several lots of TK 1024AB runs. The subjects covered include: QE the on-chip amplifier characteristics dark current measurement CTE and characterization of various defects. The paper will also describe the test hardware and procedures used to evaluate the performance of the devices.
