Very special processes avoid the reduced blue response by thinning the substrate<br />

to only several tens <strong>of</strong> microns, which is a quite complicated and expensive<br />

process. Such CCDs are illuminated from the back side and usually have a very<br />

good quantum efficiency.<br />

3.1.3 Transport mechanisms for charge carriers<br />

Basically there are three independent transport mechanisms for free charge<br />

carriers in the semiconductor (Figure 3.11):<br />

Self-induced drift<br />

1. Self-induced drift<br />

2. Thermal diffusion<br />

3. Drift due to an electric field.<br />

Self-induced drift is based on the coulomb forces between free charge carriers <strong>of</strong><br />

the same polarity. It makes the charge carriers tend to move away from each other.<br />

In practice self-induced drift only contributes significantly to the overall charge
