The European Space Agency X-ray Multi-Mirror mission will be devoted to X-ray imaging and spectroscopy with high throughput. Both the EPIC focal plane camera instrument, and the RGS dispersive spectrometer require detectors with high sensitivity in the soft X-ray waveband. A description of a program to develop fully depleted back-illuminated CCDs at EEV is given. The device processing steps and methods of optimization are presented. Measurements of X-ray detection efficiency and energy resolution at a range of energies between 0.27 and 2 keV are presented. A model taking into account the back-surface implantation is presented. This enables the data to be compared with theoretical models for the transport and collection of signal charge.
