Abstract

This paper describes several improved characterizations of the EPIC CCD, which now has modified electrode and channel structures. From a 3-D numerical simulation of the device, its channel doping and potential distributions are then observed for the optimization of the charge transfer. A wavelength-dependence on the device structure is observed in terms of the reflectivity of the incident radiation. The optical properties of ultra-low energy levels, when using an open-electrode structure, are then considered to improve their quantum efficiency.
