Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of a delta-doped silicon layer by molecular beam epitaxy on a charge-coupled device for reflection-limited ultraviolet quantum efficiency
Michael E. Hoenk,P. J. Grunthaner,Frank J. Grunthaner,Robert W. Terhune,Masoud M. Fattahi,Hsin-Fu Tseng +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a delta-doped backside-thinned CCD was used to grow a boron delta-layer with surface density of about 2 x 10 exp 14/sq cm.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Delta-doped CCDs: high QE with long-term stability at UV and visible wavelengths
Shouleh Nikzad,Michael E. Hoenk,Paula J. Grunthaner,Robert W. Terhune,Frank J. Grunthaner,Rusty Winzenread,Masoud M. Fattahi,Hsin-Fu Tseng,Michael Lesser +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an epitaxial silicon layer is grown on a fully-processed commercial CCD using molecular beam epitaxy and 30% of a monolayer of boron atoms are deposited on the surface, followed by a 15 $angstrom silicon layer for surface passivation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Epitaxial growth of p+ silicon on a backside-thinned CCD for enhanced UV response
Michael E. Hoenk,Paula J. Grunthaner,Frank J. Grunthaner,Robert W. Terhune,Masoud M. Fattahi +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 50 A layer of silicon doped with 3x102 B/cm3 was grown at a substrate temperature of 450C and the ultraviolet quantum efficiency of the modified CCD was significantly higher than that of a CCD with an untreated back surface.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
DELTA-DOPED CCDs FOR ENHANCED UV PERFORMANCE
Shouleh Nikzad,Michael E. Hoenk,Paula J. Grunthaner,Robert W. Terhune,Frank J. Grunthaner,Rusty Winzenread,Masoud M. Fattahi,Hsin-Fu Tseng +7 more
TL;DR: Delta-doped CCDs as mentioned in this paper have been shown to achieve stable and uniform 100% internal quantum efficiency, with measured QE over 80% in some regions of the spectrum.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Delta-doped CCDs as stable, high-sensitivity, high-resolution UV imaging arrays
Shouleh Nikzad,Michael E. Hoenk,Paula J. Grunthaner,Robert W. Terhune,Frank J. Grunthaner,Rusty Winzenread,Masoud M. Fattahi,Hsin-Fu Tseng +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an epitaxial silicon layer is grown on a fully-processed commercial CCD using molecular beam epitaxy and 30% of a monolayer of boron atoms are deposited nominally within a single atomic layer, resulting in the effective elimination of the backside potential well.
