The pn-CCD was developed as focal plane detector for the XMM-Newton mission and operates successfully for more than 30 months in orbit without performance degradation. In order to match the new requirements of the future ROSITA mission which will perform a broad band X-ray all-sky survey, we propose an advanced type of pn-CCD. The concept and the new features of this frame store pn-CCD as part of the imaging X-ray spectrometer of ROSITA are described. First measurements with prototype devices show the improvement of detector performance in comparison to the pn-CCD on XMM-Newton. We suggest as optical filter for the observations of the X-ray sky, a thin aluminum layer deposited on the photon entrance window of the device.
