Abstract

1470587 Imaging devices FAIRCHILD CAMERA & INSTRUMENT CORP 30 Aug 1974 [3 Oct 1973] 38068/74 Heading H1K [Also in Division H4] An imaging device comprises a linear array of light sensors 54a-54j, a first shift register 55 on one side of the linear array and including charge storage regions, a first transfer gate 53b for controlling charge transfer from the light sensors 54a-54j to the charge storage regions on a one-to-one basis, and first means for shifting the charges along the shift register 55 to a detector, there being a second similar shift register 56 and charge transfer device on the other side of the linear array. The means for shifting charges along the shift registers 55, 56 includes a two-phase clock source applied to electrodes 55a-55j, 56a-56j alternate ones of which are connected together. The shift register 55 may, alternatively, be addressed by four phase clock pulses. The light sensors 54a-54j are separated by channel stop diffusions 51a-51i, and the device is integrated in a silicon substrate overlaid by silicon dioxide insulation and a transparent gate electrode 52.
