Abstract

In support of programs in surveillance, star tracking and the use of intensified sensors, a series of CCD activities were begun in 1984 by Science Applications International Corporation. They now include the 1989 company-funded development of 1024 x 1024, 18 micron pixel CCD's, benefiting from technology transfer from JPL, and fabricated for SAIC by Ford Aerospace. The result has been a most successful series of CCD's and continued SAIC investment in 1) augmentations of the original Multi-Pinned Phase (MPP) version, 2) the first wafer configuration and funding commitment for Open-Pinned-Phase (OPP) (invented by J. Janesick), and now the configuration of a variety of larger and smaller versions of 18 micron pixel MPP CCD's, to be operated with either front- or back-illumination. This paper surveys activities which are now leading toward reduced noise and toward improved visible region QE and toward the acquisition of UV/Xray responsivity coupled with the features of the MPP CCD's.
