Dual-line type charge transfer device

摘要

A charge transfer device which comprises vertical charge transfer devices which transfer charges in the vertical direction, first and second horizontal charge transfer devices which transfer the charges from the vertical charge transfer devices in the horizontal direction, and a shift gate which controls the charges from the vertical charge transfer devices to be supplied to one the first horizontal charge device or the second horizontal charge transfer device, wherein the first. horizontal charge transfer device is a semiconductor region between the vertical charge transfer devices and the second horizontal charge transfer device and includes highly-doped regions having tapered portions whose one ends near the second horizontal charge transfer device are broader than another ends near the vertical charge transfer devices.
