Abstract

TH78997M is a 2048 x 2048 pixel full-frame CCD sensor featuring 15 x 15 micron pixels, MPP operating mode, four parallel outputs and buttability on three sides. This new device makes it possible to build very large focal plane detectors for telescopes (two x n butted CCDs) with less than a 25 dead pixel zone between adjacent sensors. Other features are high full-well capacity (typically 180 Ke-) and very low dark current thanks to four phase MPP clocking which allows a very long exposure time together with a high S/N ratio.
