摘要：

The concept and performance of the Fully Depleted pn-Junction CCD (pn-CCD) system, developed for the European XMM- and the German ABRIXAS-satellite missions for soft X-ray imaging and spectroscopy in the 0.1 keV to 15 keV photon range, is presented. The 58 mm x 60 mm large pn-CCD array uses pn-junctions for registers and for the backside instead of MOS registers. This concept naturally allows to fully deplete the detector Volume to make it an efficient detector to photons with energies up to 15 keV. For high detection efficiency in the soft X-ray region down to 100 eV, an ultrathin pn-CCD backside deadlayer has been realized. - Each pn-CCD-channel is equipped with an on-chip JFET amplifier which, in combination with the CAMEX-amplifier and multiplexing chip, facilitates parallel readout with a pixel read rate of 3 MHz and an electronic noise floor of ENC < 5 e-. With the complete parallel readout, very fast pn-CCD readout modi can be implemented in the system which allow for high resolution photon spectroscopy of even the brightest X-ray sources in the sky.
