“…It is worth mentioning that in Fig. 5 we have presented quantum efficiency only for the uncoated area of the CCD, while the other area of the CCD with a specially designed anti-reflection coating has even higher quantum efficiency in the 170-310 nm spectral range 16 . It means that among measured sensors, CCD now is more preferable than the CMOS sensors in VUV.…”

“…Part of the CCD sensitive surface is covered with antireflection coating to enhance the CCD sensitivity in the 170-310 nm spectral range. The effect of the antireflection coating on quantum efficiency has been experimentally measured 16 and will be presented in detail elsewhere. The detector enclosure has a MgF 2 spectral filter window to absorb all the energetic VUV radiation with wavelengths shorter than 112 nm.…”

We have measured the spectral quantum efficiency of several digital detectors in two spectral ranges, namely vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, and extreme ultraviolet (EUV, 10-58 nm) wavebands. We used monochromatic synchrotron radiation from the VEPP-4M storage ring (INP, Novosibirsk) to investigate the spectral response of GSENSE400BSI-GP CMOS which have been specially designed for optimum VUV sensitivity, as well as the WSO-UV project's custom deep cooled CCD272-64 sealed within a hermetic contaminant-protective stainless-steel enclosure with a VUV-transparent entrance window. The CMOS GSENSE400BSI-GP sensitive surface has four types of different pretreatment: (i) small boron implantation dose, weak annealing; (ii) small boron implantation dose, strong annealing, (iii) large boron implantation dose, weak annealing; (iv) large boron implantation dose, strong annealing. These VUV optimised CMOS sensors have higher spectral sensitivity and higher quantum efficiency in the 112-180 nm spectral range, compared to a commercial CMOS which is typically optimised for the best performance at visible wavelengths, but at longer wavelengths GSENSE400BSI-GP sensitivity decreases. The measurements have revealed that stronger annealing can slightly increase the CMOS spectral sensitivity, while large boron implantation dose decreases the sensitivity of the CMOS sensors. With relation to quantum efficiency figures, CCD still prevails in the VUV while recent advances in CMOS technology could make CMOS more preferable in the EUV range.

“…In 2019 at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, independent measurements were made of the CCD quantum efficiency in the 115-320 nm range, including a gradient AR coating 5 , and the efficiency of the CCD cooling system. The measurements were carried out at the beamline "Kosmos" using synchrotron radiation from the VEPP-4М storage ring 6 .…”

World Space Observatory Ultraviolet (WSO-UV) is a major Russian-led international collaboration to develop a large Space-borne 1.7 m Ritchey-Chrétien telescope and instrumentation to study the Universe in the ultraviolet wavelengths. The WSO-UV WUVS spectrograph consists of three channels: two high resolution channels (R=50000) with spectral ranges of 115-176 nm and 174-310 nm, and a low resolution (R=1000) channel with a spectral range of 115-305 nm. Each of the three channels has an almost identical custom detector consisting of a CCD inside a vacuum Enclosure, and drive electronics with associated cables. The main challenges of the WUVS detectors are to achieve high quantum efficiency in the FUV-NUV range, to provide low readout noise (≤3 e-at 50 kHz) and low dark current (≤ 12 e-/pixel/hour), to operate with integral exposures of up to 10 hours, and to provide good photometric accuracy. Teledyne e2v has designed three variants of a custom CCD272-64 sensor with different UV AR coatings, optimised for each WUVS channel. The custom vacuum Enclosure, also designed by Teledyne e2v, prevents contamination and maintains the CCD at the operating temperature of -100 o C, while the temperature of the WUVS optical bench is +20 o C. STFC RAL Space has developed the Camera Electronics Box (CEB) which houses the CCD drive electronics. Digital correlated double sampling technology provides extremely low readout noise and also enables flexibility to optimise readout noise against pixel frequency for a number of normal and binned pixel readout modes. This paper presents the general trade-offs of the WUVS detector design, methods for extending the service life of the CCD sensors working with low signals in a Space radiation environment, and a summary of the measured and calculated key parameters of the WUVS detectors.
