Abstract:The electrostatic discharge (ESD) effect and damage mechanism of Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is investigated. Transmission line pulsing (TLP) tests have been experimented to identify the instantaneous I-V characteristics of CCD detectors under ESD stress. The TLP I-V curves of the ports with or without ESD protection show different characteristics, which indicate that the electrostatic discharge is a capacitor charging process for the ports without protection. The ports with smaller capacitance such as the tra… Show more
