IR-enhanced
S11510 series
www.hamamatsu.com 1
The S11510 series is a family of FFT-CCD image sensors for photometric applications that offer improved sensitivity in
the near infrared region at wavelengths longer than 800 nm. Our unique technology in laser processing was used to
form a MEMS structure on the back side of the CCD. This allows the S11510 series to have much higher sensitivity than
our previous products (S10420-01 series).
In addition to having high infrared sensitivity, the S11510 series can be used as an image sensor with a long active area
in the direction of the sensor height by binning operation, making it suitable for detectors in Raman spectroscopy. Bin-
ning operation also ensures even higher S/N and signal processing speed compared to methods that use an external
circuit to add signals digitally.
The S11510 series has a pixel size of 14 × 14 μm and is available in two image areas of 14.336 (H) × 0.896 (V) mm (1024
× 64 pixels) and 28.672 (H) × 0.896 (V) mm (2048 × 64 pixels). The S11510 series is pin compatible with the S10420-
01 series, and so operates under the same drive conditions.

shift register
Note: When viewed from the direction of the incident light, the horizontal shift register is
covered with a thick silicon layer (dead layer). However, long-wavelength light
passes through the silicon dead layer and may possibly be detected by the horizontal
shift register. To prevent this, provide light shield on that area as needed.

Precautions (electrostatic countermeasures)
When handling CCD sensors, always wear a wrist strap and also anti-static clothing, gloves, and shoes, etc. The wrist strap should
have a protective resistor (about 1 MΩ) on the side closer to the body and be grounded properly. Using a wrist strap having no
protective resistor is hazardous because you may receive an electrical shock if electric leakage occurs.
Avoid directly placing these sensors on a work bench that may carry an electrostatic charge.
Provide ground lines with the work bench and work oor to allow static electricity to discharge.
Ground the tools used to handle these sensors, such as tweezers and soldering irons.
It is not always necessary to provide all the electrostatic measures stated above. Implement these measures according to the
amount of damage that occurs.
