Abstract
Development of a 20482 CCD for a second-generation space telescope instrument has produced some very encouraging devices. The first experimental lot of 10 devices have very few defects, dark currents of less than 12 electrons/pixel/hour at -80 degree(s), readout noise levels of less than 4 electrons rms, and excellent charge transfer efficiency at signal levels of less than 10 electrons.
