摘要： A CCD shift register which is improved in the transfer efficiency with a minimal decrease in the amount of electric charge that can be handled. The CCD shift register has an array of transfer electrodes, each comprising a pair of storage and transfer gate electrodes, which are formed on a semiconductor substrate through a gate insulator. A semiconductor region under each storage gate electrode is divided into a plurality of subregions by using impurities.

摘要： A CCD imager includes a large number of light receiving sections each having in turn a semiconductor surface region of a second conductivity type, a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a semiconductor region of the second conductivity type and a second semiconductor region of the first conductivity type, vertically. The second semiconductor region is formed by a dual structure of the low concentration semiconductor region and the high concentration semiconductor region. The dual structure provides for shuttering at a lower voltage since the potential barrier along the depth of the light receiving section is no longer affected by the amount of the stored charges, while spreading of the depletion layer at the junction is suppressed by the high concentration semiconductor region.

摘要： A solid state imaging device and method of operating the same includes an imaging section for converting incident light into a signal charge which is temporarily stored in a storage section before being read out. A vertical transfer register extends from an imaging section to a storage section. A transfer clock pulse is applied to a portion of the vertical transfer register disposed in the storage section such that the potential of the vertical transfer register in the storage section is deeper than that in the imaging section. Excess charge is transferred to a smear drain section. According to an alternate feature, the potential of the vertical transfer register within either the imaging section or the storage section is maintained constant. A further feature makes use of two drain regions disposed at respective distal ends of the imaging section and the storage section.
