Many products require devices with more exacting specifications such as tailored spectral response, unusual readout architecture or special packaging. Fairchild Imaging has always sought out the difficult applications with custom CCD designs and manufacturing processes. We have extensive experience in varied processes including applications of X-ray scintillators, fiber optic faceplates, color filters, applications of microlenslets and back illuminated CCDs. Requirements for larger and larger focal planes have led us to develop wafer scale buttable CCDs. These CCDs can be arranged into two, three and four side buttable arrays.

Since the late 1970s, Fairchild Imaging has been supplying leading instrumentation OEM companies with custom focal plane arrays for virtually every conceivable application. We are pioneers in the X-ray dental and medical fields with custom intra- and extra-oral dental sensors and large area focal planes for mammography applications.

We have a long history of producing scientific and space qualified CCD imagers. The first devices were line scan arrays for the SPOT program in the early 1980s. These devices have since evolved into a broad range of custom space and scientific imagers.

Included below is just a small example of our more recent custom devices. The devices displayed represent Fairchild Imaging custom designs and capabilities.

These devices are not commercially available.
