Characterization of orthogonal transfer array CCDs for the WIYN one degree imager
2012
The WIYN One Degree Imager (ODI) will provide a one degree field of view for the WIYN 3.5 m telescope located on
Kitt Peak near Tucson, Arizona. Its focal plane consists of an 8x8 grid of Orthogonal Transfer Array (OTA) CCD
detectors. These detectors are the STA2200 OTA CCDs designed and fabricated by Semiconductor Technology
Associates, Inc. and backside processed at the University of Arizona Imaging Technology Laboratory. Several lot runs
of the STA2200 detectors have been fabricated. We have backside processed devices from these different lots and
provide detector performance characterization, including noise, CTE, cosmetics, quantum efficiency, and some
orthogonal transfer characteristics. We discuss the performance differences for the devices with different silicon
thickness and resistivity. A fully buttable custom detector package has been developed for this project which allows
hybridization of the silicon detectors directly onto an aluminum nitride substrate with an embedded pin grid array. This
package is mounted on a silicon-aluminum alloy which provides a flat imaging surface of less than 20 microns peakvalley
at the -100 C operating temperature. Characterization of the package performance, including low temperature
profilometry, is described in this paper.
