Abstract
An imaging charge coupled device (CCD) is provided which has a support on the non-illuminated, circuit side of a CCD channel layer. The other side of the CCD channel layer (the semiconductor side) is epitaxially joined to an absorber layer of semiconductor which is epitaxially joined to a window layer. This structure is fabricated by growing the epitaxial semiconductor layers (window, absorber, and channel) on a semiconductor substrate, fabricating a CCD circuit on the channel layer, mounting the channel layer to a support, and finally etching off the substrate.
