The HiRho CCD group is developing next generation CCDs that will achieve full quantum efficiency to 1 micron without fringing. In addition, these CCDs will be fabricated without thinning and will utilize inexpensive conventional MOS processing. These thick CCDs will be made on a high resistivity n-type substrate and will operate fully depleted with rear illumination.
