Use Of Thinned Backside Illuminated CCD From The Extreme Ultraviolet To The Soft Ultraviolet.

Within the development of THOMSON-CSF thinned CCDs (576 x 384 pixels), a characterization program of evaluation in ultraviolet imaging is pursued. The description of this program is given with the quantum efficiency measured in the 200-3000Å wavelength range. Some preliminary data on the 2200-3000 Å quantum efficiency have been presentedl. New evaluations of this CCD in the ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet ranges are reported with some details about the method and the implementation of the measurement.
