Sensor Geometric Accuracy Large area CCD imagers are composed (stitched) from several blocks. Stitching on wafer with semiconductor lithographic equipment results in geometric accuracy better than 0.1µm ( Stoldt, H. (2010 ). Therefore the geometric accuracy of individual pixels within a block can be assumed as better or equal the stitching accuracy. Calib_DMCII230-027.docx Document Version 3.0 page 39 of 41
Column Pixel Column Pixel DMC II 230 Calibration Defect Pixel Recognition The table below shows the maximal allowed physical defects on the CCD Sensor and its definitions. Description Bright image Dark image Max Count Description Definition Recognition (bright and dark) Max Single column Max double Column CCD Spec Pixel whose signal, at nominal light (illumination at 50% of the linear range), deviates more than 30% from its neighboring pixels. Pixel whose signal, in dark, deviates more than 6mV from its neighboring pixels (about 1% of nominal light). PAN 3500 MS <500 CCD Spec A column which has more than 8 pixel defects in 1 1x 12 kernel Column defects must be horizontally separated by 5 columns for single line defects and 10 for double line defects Same as defect pixel recognition PAN 140 MS 20 PAN 40 MS 6 The Post-Processing-Software is correcting following pixel and columns: PPS Correction Pixel whose gray value in a 16 x16 kernel differs from the median more than 30% PPS Correction Pixel whose gray value in a 16 x16 kernel differs from the median more than 5% and more than 15 defects in one column Calib_DMCII230-027.docx Document Version 3.0 page 40 of 41
