Abstract
This paper presents a bouwblok family of CCD image sensors, a set of devices of varying size built with a single pixel design from one mask set. It describes the original design goals and how they led to dividing the layout into smaller blocks that could be stitched together to form a complete sensor. The architecture is traditional for large-area scientific devices. The pixel design is optimized for large charge packets, antiblooming and low dark current, the horizontal register for binning, and the output amplifier for fast pixel rates. The paper describes how the design is split and modified to cover all possible configurations and how to minimize the effects of stitching.
