Electron-Bombarded CCD (EB-CCD) image intensifiers, based on the primary photoelectron multiplication effect in the CCD substrate, provide a number of advantages over routine intensified CCDs, optically coupled with the output of conventional image intensifiers. Despite this fact, there are no commercially available intensified EB-CCD imagers, though many CCD and image intensifier's manufactures put great efforts to design devices of such kind. This paper briefly reviews the results of more than a decade of work in the field of intensified EB-CCD imaging devices in the “Electron” National Research Institute, Russia's leader in optoelectronics.
