Radiation Performance of Interline CCD Arrays

Abstract

Interline CCD arrays were irradiated to several total dose levels with protons at three different particle energies (12, 30 and 50 MeV), as well as several dose levels for gamma (γ) radiation, the latter intended to replicate the space environment for trapped electrons. Results are presented or summarized for dark current, noise electrons, charge transfer efficiencies, charge to voltage conversion and non-operational pixels.
