“…CCDs were first developed by Bell Laboratories in 1970 in the form of a linear shift register [Boy70]. The ability of silicon to detect visible radiation caused CCDs to be recognized as potential imaging sensors [Jan85]. They have developed rapidly, motivated principally by the desire to construct a fully TV-compatible, all-solid-state imager on a single chip, and are now among the largest metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices being fabricated [Blo83].…”

“…A promising device with direct positional read-out consists of such an intensifier in which the phosphor is replaced by a CCD. As the CCD must now be inside the vacuum envelope of the intensifier it cannot easily be cooled and read-out noise level will be of the order of 100 electrons instead of having the extremely low values reported by Mackay (1985) and Janesick et al (1984). Various intensifiers have been described (Zucchino, Long, Lowrance, Renda, Crawshaw & Battson, 1981;Lemonnier et al, 1985) in which the electrons reaching the CCD have an energy of several keV so that the electron-hole generation is amplified (EBS process).…”

The physical processes are examined which can be used for the detection of X-rays in the range between about 3 and about 20keV and for the positional localization of the incident photons. The criteria for choosing a detector for particular purposes are discussed in general terms. Specific examples of one-and two-dimensional detectors are then considered with particular emphasis on devices which are still in a state of development, and an attempt is made to summarize the nature, performance and suitability for different experiments of available detectors.

“…The theory and technique of UV flooding of CCDs has been developed over the past few years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and is extensively described by Janesick et al (1984Janesick et al ( , 1985. Our work on UV flooding began as a straightforward application of these techniques to our detectors but has required modification to achieve reflection-limited performance.…”

The use of charge-coupled devices (CCDs) on ground-based optical telescopes has increased markedly over the past few years, in part due to the successful development and distribution of a number of Texas Instruments thinned, three-phase 800 X 800 detectors. It is relatively straightforward to achieve low readout noise, good charge-transfer efficiency, and low dark current from these devices. It is also possible to dramatically improve the blue and UV quantum efficiency by treating the backside surface of the detector. A UV flooding technique derived from original work at JPL which boosts the response of our two TI CCDs to nearly reflection limited values in the blue and UV is discussed along with some theory concerning silicon surface charging. This technique produces a photometrically stable detector that is well suited for use with ground-based optical telescopes.
