A charge-coupled device includes a plurality of cells for forming the charge-coupled device, each of the cells capable of retaining charge a transfer mechanism within the charge-coupled device for moving charge through the plurality of cells, an output region for receiving charge moved through the plurality of cells under control of the transfer mechanism; a floating diffusion to receive charge moved across the output region; a reset gate to remove charge from the floating diffusion and reset the floating diffusion to a reference voltage level; and a capacitance control gate adjacent to the floating diffusion for canceling capacitance coupling of the reset gate. A capacitance control gate covers a portion of the floating diffusion. The capacitance control gate voltage is adjusted to alter the capacitance of the floating diffusion. The capacitance control gate is clocked opposite that of the reset gate to cancel the capacitive effects of the reset gate.
