Physical and electrical analysis of LSST sensors

Abstract

Removing systematic effects from astronomical images taken with CCDs requires a detailed understanding of the physics of the imaging process. To aid in this understanding, we have built detailed electrostatic simulations of the LSST CCDs. In order to build an electrostatic model of the LSST CCDs, physical information about the CCDs is required. These details include things such as the physical dimensions of the components of the CCD, dopant profiles, and in some cases, electrical measurements of the CCD. This work documents the results of these physical and electrical measurements on LSST CCDs.
