High-speed operation, back-thinned FFT-CCD The FFT-CCD image sensors were developed for high-speed line scan cameras. Since an on-chip amplifier having a wide bandwidth is used to an image sensor, a pixel rate of MHz can be obtained. The image sensors also deliver a high line scan rate equivalent to interline CCD sensors when used in line binning operation mode, because they have an active area pixel format where the number of vertical pixels is less than the number of horizontal pixels. This makes the suitable for line scan cameras. The image sensors have a pixel size of 24 24 μm and are available in pixel formats of 52 4 pixels and 24 4 pixels. The S938 series has a one-stage thermoelectric cooler assembled in the same package allowing stable operation at cooled temperatures. Both the image sensors use a quartz glass window equivalent to SUPRASIL glass that provides high transmittance even at 93 nm wavelength. These image sensors also have stable quantum efficiency in the UV region making them suitable for excimer laser monitors.

RT = RT2 exp BT/T2 (/T - /T2) RT: resistance at absolute temperature T [K] RT2: resistance at absolute temperature T2 [K] BT/T2: B constant [K] MΩ (Typ.)

In addition, wear anti-static clothing and use a wrist band with an earth ring, in order to prevent electrostatic damage due to electrical charges from friction. Avoid directly placing these sensors on a work-desk or work-bench that may carry an electrostatic charge. Provide ground lines or ground connection with the work-floor, work-desk and work-bench to allow static electricity to discharge. Ground the tools used to handle these sensors, such as tweezers and soldering irons. It is not always necessary to provide all the electrostatic measures stated above. Implement these measures according to the amount of damage that occurs. Element cooling/heating temperature incline rate Element cooling/heating temperature incline rate should be set at less than 5 K/min.
