Space-qualified, Abuttable Packaging for LBNL p-Channel CCDs, Part I
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a design for packaging Charged Coupled Devices (CCDs) for use as optical imaging devices for space applications, although the design is also useful for any large ground-based mosaic. We have constructed and assembled prototype packages using this design. Testing of these prototypes has demonstrated that these packaged CCDs are flight worthy. The design, construction, and testing of these prototypes are described in this article.

Packaging Design for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory High Resistivity CCDs
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has been developing fully-depleted high resistivity CCDs. These CCDs exhibit very high red quantum efficiency, no red fringing, and very low lateral charge diffusion, making them good candidates for astronomical applications that require better red response or better point spread function than can typically be achieved with standard thinned CCDs. For th...
متن کاملThe Dark Energy Survey Instrument Design
We describe a new project, the Dark Energy Survey (DES), aimed at measuring the dark energy equation of state parameter, w, to a statistical precision of ~5%, with four complementary techniques. The survey will use a new 3 sq. deg. mosaic camera (DECam) mounted at the prime focus of the Blanco 4m telescope at the Cerro-Tololo International Observatory (CTIO). DECam includes a large mosaic camer...
متن کاملProton Radiation Damage in P-Channel CCDs Fabricated on High-Resistivity Silicon
P-channel, backside illuminated silicon CCDs were developed and fabricated on high-resistivity n-type silicon. Devices have been exposed up to 1× 1011 protons/cm2 at 12 MeV. The charge transfer efficiency and dark curent were measured as a function of radiation dose. These CCDs were found to be significantly more radiation tolerant than conventional n-channel devices. This could prove to be a m...
متن کاملAdvanced Packaging Technologies used in NASA ’ s 3 D Space Flight Computer
During 1995-1997, NASA’s New Millennium Program developed the 3 0 Flight Computer technology for validation on its j r s t Deep-Space I mission launched in October 1998. Whereas, the computer was not delivered on schedule for inclusion on the spacecraft, it was delivered, integrated and space qualified at JPL. This computer is characterized by the aggressive use of advanced packaging technologi...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Proton Radiation Damage in p- and n- Channel CCDs
It has been demonstrated that p-channel charge coupled devices (CCDs) are more radiation hard than conventional nchannel devices as they are not affected by the dominant electron trapping caused by the displacement damage defect the E-centre (phosphorus-vacancy). This paper presents a summary of the results from a comparative study of n-channel and p-channel CCDs each type operated under the sa...
