Abstract
An intensified charge coupled image sensor comprises an image intensifier tube including an evacuated envelope having therein a photoemissive cathode, a charge coupled device spaced from said cathode, and a frame member for supporting the charge coupled device. The charge coupled device has a first surface and a second surface with a conductive boundary on the first surface. The frame member has a coefficient of expansion closely matching that of the charge coupled device and a first and second surface with a conductive pattern formed on one of the surfaces. The conductive boundary of the CCD and the conductive pattern of the frame member are in register and bonded together by a braze material to form a unitized structure of superior strength. The method of forming the conductive boundary and the conductive pattern is described as is the brazing method.
