Charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors lead the direct search for sub-GeV dark matter particles. I will present how this came to be and highlight recent results from the DAMIC-M Collaboration that probe, for the first time, benchmarks of several hidden-sector dark matter theories. I will show that the remarkable improvements in sensitivity are set to continue in the next years with the full-scale DAMIC-M detector at the Modane Underground Laboratory in France.
