<p>The present invention relates to a method of driving a charge transfer device comprising: a charge detecting section including an electrically floating diffusion region (7; 27), a output amplifier (8; 28) connected to said floating diffusion region (7; 27) and a transistor responsive to a reset pulse voltage signal ( phi RG) for resetting said floating diffusion region (7; 27) to a predetermined potential. The transistor comprises said floating diffusion region (7; 27), a reset drain region (10; 30) formed in a substrate (2), a gate electrode (11; 29) connected to a source of said reset pulse voltage signal ( phi RG), and a channel formed on said substrate (2), said channel extending between said floating diffusion region (7; 27) and said reset drain region (10; 30). Charge transfer means transfer charges to said charge detecting section, and include a channel formed on said substrate, a plurality of gate electrodes insulated from said channel, and an output gate electrode formed on an end of said charge transfer means. In this method an output gate pulse voltage signal (VHOG) having an anti-phase of said reset pulse voltage signal ( phi RG) is to be applied to said output gate electrode. <IMAGE></p> |
