Abstract :
CCD-imagers have been fabricated with a double metallization and with polyimide (PI) as insulating layer between the two metals. The incorporation of PI reduces the complexity of the CCD-technology without changing the electrical and the optical properties of the imaging devices. In addition, the sensor uniformity is strongly improved due to the enhanced surface flatness.
