Optical identification of crystal defects in CCD matrix

Abstract

An original idea of semiconductor defects identification in CCD matrix was presented in the article. The procedure is simple and easy to execute because of no need for special and expensive equipment. The method classifies defects into two groups: the point defects and the spatial defects (dislocations). During the experiments it was proven that the type of defect affects the behaviour of the dark current generation during the light gathering .
