CCDS HAVING EFFICIENT CHARGE TRANSFER RATES

摘要

A camera includes a charge-coupled device having a substrate or well of a first conductivity type; a buried channel of a second conductivity type; a dielectric disposed on the substrate; six gates disposed on the dielectric that are space oriented sequentially (1) through (6) in which six gates, in a first mode, receives signals in which alternating gates receive substantially complimentary clock cycles, and in a second mode the gates receive signals in which gates (1 and 4) receive complimentary clock cycles and gates (2 and 5) are approximately held at a first constant voltage and gates (3 and 6) are approximately held at a second constant voltage.
