Radiation-sensitive semiconductor device.

摘要

A radiation-sensitive semiconductor device, more in particular a line imager, wherein a plurality of closely spaced photodiodes (10) are electrically insulated from each other by depleted regions.

The device is provided with storage means (18, 19) for collecting the minority charge generated in each diode during a certain integration time and transfer means (12, 13) for transferring the distinct charge carrier packets to read out means (15), whereby improved performance with respect to blooming between adjacent diodes is obtained.
