Advanced charge injection devices for space instruments

چکیده
Charge Injection Devices (CIDs) have historically played a niche role in visible imager technologies, mainly for applications requiring high radiation tolerance. They have not exhibited the radiometric performance of competing visibleimaging technologies such as CCDs, and so have not been widely applied to space instrument systems. Recent advances in CIDs have demonstrated much higher radiometric performance as well as lower noise operation, without compromising the radiation tolerance of the devices, making the devices suitable for a wide range of space instruments. We present radiometric, noise, and radiation response data for several of the newest CID designs that are candidate technologies for visible space telescope systems.

Multidielectric polyethylene is a material that is generally employed as insulation for the HVDC isolations. In this paper, the influence of temperature on space charge dynamics has been studied, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) sandwiched between two electrodes were subjected to voltage application of 5kV (14.3 kV/mm) for extended duration of time ...
متن کاملCharge Injection Devices
|The name "charge injection" describes the operation of a generic class of electronic and optoelectronic multiterminal semiconductor devices, based on the real space transfer of hot carriers over a potential barrier into adjacent and separately contacted layers. Charge injection devices enable the implementation of compact optoelectronic gates endowed with a powerful logic functionality. Keywor...

An example simulation of Au+ charge breeding using FAR-TECH's integrated EBIS (electron beam ion source) modeling toolset is presented with the emphasis on ion beam injection and extraction. The trajectories of injected ions are calculated with PBGUNS (particle beam gun simulation) self-consistently by including the space charges from both ions and electrons. The ion beam, starting with initial...
متن کاملLow noise charge injection in the CCD22
The inclusion of a charge injection structure on a charge coupled device (CCD) allows for the mitigation of charge transfer losses caused by radiation induced charge trapping defects. Any traps present in the pixels of the CCD are filled by the injected charge as it is swept through the device improving the charge transfer efficiency in the subsequent acquired images. To date, a number of CCD t...
متن کاملAdvanced surface modification of indium tin oxide for improved charge injection in organic devices.
A new method is described for surface modification of ITO with an electroactive organic monolayer. This procedure was done to enhance hole injection in an electronic device and involves sequential formation of a monolayer of a pi-conjugated organic semiconductor on the indium tin oxide (ITO) surface followed by doping with a strong electron acceptor. The semiconductor monolayer is covalently bo...
