S13255-2048-02 S13256-2048-02 Back-thinned CCD image sensors with electronic shutter function The S13255-2048-02 and S13256-2048-02 are back-thinned CCD linear image sensors with an internal electronic shutter for spectrometers. These image sensors use a resistive gate structure that allows a high-speed transfer. Each pixel has a lengthwise size needed by spectrometers but ensures readout with low image lag. In addition, a TE-cooler is built into the package to keep the element temperature constant (about 5 C) during operation. Features Built-in electronic shutter Minimum integration time: 2 μs High sensitivity from the ultraviolet region (spectral response range: 200 to 1100 nm) Readout speed: 10 MHz max. Image lag: 0.1% typ.

In resistive gate structures, a single high-resistance electrode is formed in the active area, and a signal charge is transferred by means of a potential slope that is created by applying different voltages across the electrode [Figure 2]. Compared to a CCD area image sensor which is used as a linear sensor by line binning, a one-dimensional CCD having a resistive gate structure in the active area offers higher speed transfer, allowing readout with low image lag even if the pixel height is large.

We recommend taking measures to dissipate heat as needed. For more details, refer to the technical information Resistive gate type CCD linear image sensors with electronic shutter. *4: If the current greater than this value flows into the thermoelectric cooler, the heat absorption begins to decrease due to the Joule heat. It should be noted that this value is not the damage threshold value. To protect the thermoelectric cooler and maintain stable operation, the supply current should be less than 60% of this maximum current. *5: To ensure stable temperature control, ΔT (temperature difference between Th and Tc) should be less than 30 C. If ΔT exceeds 30 C, product characteristics may deteriorate. For example, the dark current uniformity may degrade. *6: Temperature of the cooling side of thermoelectric cooler *7: Temperature of the heat radiating side of thermoelectric cooler *8: Use a soldering iron. Note: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings even momentarily may cause a drop in product quality. Always be sure to use the product within the absolute maximum ratings. 2

However, long-wavelength light passes through the silicon dead layer and may possibly be detected by the horizontal shift register. To prevent this, provide light shield on that area as needed. Note that the transmission of long wavelengths in the dead layer covering the horizontal shift register was reduced compared to previous products. Signal charges that undergo photoelectric conversion at each pixel of the photosensitive area are directed upward or downward based on the boundary line at the center of the photosensitive area and transferred.then, they are combined through the horizontal registers and read out by the amplifier.

Precautions If the thermoelectric cooler does not radiate away sufficient heat, then the product temperature will rise and cause physical damage or deterioration to the product. Make sure there is sufficient heat dissipation during cooling. As a heat dissipation measure, we recommend applying a high heat-conductivity material (silicone grease, etc.) over the entire area between the product and the heatsink (metallic block, etc.), and screwing and securing the product to a heatsink. Handle these sensors with bare hands or wearing cotton gloves. In addition, wear anti-static clothing or 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. Long-term exposure to U or X-ray irradiation will cause product characteristics to deteriorate. Avoid exposing the product to any unnecessary U or X-ray irradiation. It is not always necessary to provide all the electrostatic measures stated above. Implement these measures according to the amount of damage that occurs.
