Abstract

1310868 Semi-conductor devices NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO 7 Sept 1971 [29 Sept 1970] 41660/71 Heading H1K A charge coupled device consists of a semiductor substrate and a layer of insulation on one face having a series of alternately thick and thin regions between minority carrier injection and detection locations. The transfer electrodes, each consisting of a metal layer overlying adjacent thick and thin regions form two alternating groups supplied with oppositely phased pulse waveforms. As shown, Fig. 1, the series of regions is disposed within an etched channel in a much thicker layer 14 of silica, on which the conductive connections to the electrodes are located. The minority carrier injection may be effected, as shown, by an avalanche device consisting of a metal layer on thin insulation 35, by an electron beam, or by a PN or Schottky barrier on the N-type silicon substrate. Transferred minority carriers can also be detected by such a barrier. The thin regions under the transfer electrodes may be 800-1000 Š thick and the thick regions 100-500 Š thicker. In operation the pulses applied to the two groups of electrodes are of the same magnitude. Backward movement of the carriers is avoided because on account of the greater thickness of insulation the potential well beneath the leading edge of each transfer electrode is always shallower than that at the trailing edge.
