STA1600LN: low-noise 10560 x 10560 pixel high-resolution CCD for astronomy

摘要

The demand from the astronomical community for high resolution low noise CCDs has led to the development of theSTA1600LN, a 10560 × 10560 pixel, 95mm × 95mm, full-frame CCD imager with 9×9 μsup2/sup pixels. The deviceimprovements include noise reduction to below 3ē at 100kHz, improved quantum efficiency, as well as packagingdevelopments for improved fill factor in mosaic systems. We provide test results from production devices, along withupdates on scientific systems utilizing the STA1600 for astronomy.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
