Nitric Oxide Enhances Charge-Coupled Device

Abstract

Simple treatment increases and stabilizes quantum efficiency of charge-coupled-device photodetector illuminated on back surface at wavelengths less than 4,500 Angstrom. Must be biased in strong accumulation mode. Physical principle of enhancement explained more fully in "Metal Film Increases CCD Output" (NPO-16815). Useful for imaging at wavelengths from ultraviolet to blue; for example, in astronomical observations.
