The X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) aboard the Suzaku satellite is an X-ray CCD camera system that has superior performance, such as a low background, high quantum efficiency, and good energy resolution in the 0.2--12keV band. Because of radiation damage in orbit, however, the charge-transfer inefficiency (CTI) has increased, and hence the energy scale and resolution of the XIS has been degraded since the launch in 2005 July. The CCD has a charge-injection structure, and the CTI of each column and the pulse-height dependence of the CTI are precisely measured by a checker flag charge-injection (CFCI) technique. Our precise CTI correction improved the energy resolution from 230eV to 190eV at 5.9keV in 2006 December. This paper reports on CTI measurements with the CFCI experiments in orbit. Using the CFCI results, we have implemented the time-dependent energy scale and resolution to the Suzaku calibration database.
