Within sane prices there is no CCD with such high QE at 900-1000 nm, but many DS cameras have quite decent QE within that range.

889 nm is used for methane band imaging (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus) and 1010 nm is used for Venus night side thermal emission imaging. Aside of that deep IR is rarely used by "amateurs". There are for example Astrodon NIR tricolor imaging filters but they aren't popular.
