Abstract
The XIS is an X-ray Imaging Spectrometer system, consisting of state-of-the-art charge-coupled devices (CCDs) optimized for X-ray detection, camera bodies, and control electronics. Four sets of XIS sensors are placed at the focal planes of the grazing-incidence, nested thin-foil mirrors (XRT: X-Ray Telescope) onboard the Suzaku satellite. Three of the XIS sensors have front-illuminated CCDs, while the other has a back-illuminated CCD. Coupled with the XRT, the energy range of 0.2–12 keV with energy resolution of 130 eV at 5.9 keV, and a field of view of $18^\prime \times 18^\prime$ are realized. Since the Suzaku launch on 2005 July 10, the XIS has been functioning well.
