Effects of Ionizing Radiation on a 256-Stage Linear CCD Imager

The total dose effects of gamma radiation on an unhardened 256-stage linear CCD imager have been investigated. Key device parameters were monitored and the primary failure mechanisms identified. Additional structural design rules for radiation hard CCD's were formulated. The performance of a th...

Description
Summary:The total dose effects of gamma radiation on an unhardened 256-stage linear CCD imager have been investigated. Key device parameters were monitored and the primary failure mechanisms identified. Additional structural design rules for radiation hard CCD's were formulated. The performance of a threshold insensitive input technique was evaluated.
