Abstract

1471427 Charge coupled devices SIEMENS AG 27 Sept 1974 [7 Nov 1973] 42088/74 Heading H1K A CCD comprises a plurality of mutually spaced electrodes 30-39 on an insulating layer 2 on a semi-conductor substrate 1, the device having an input stage 5, a charge shift stage 6, and an output stage 7, an input electrode 30 in the input stage 5 having a larger area than any electrode 32-36 in the charge shift stage 6. A voltage connected to the input electrode 30 produces an inversion layer serving as a charge reservoir from which charges are transferred to the charge shift stage 6 and the output stage 7 via transfer electrodes 31, 38 respectively. Charges arriving under the electrode 37 produces a measurable voltage change on it, dependent on the charge transferred. The output electrode 39 may be connected to the input electrode 30 to re-circulate charges and the charge shift stage 6 may be operated by a one, two or three phase clock source. Alternatively, the output electrode 39 may be a Schottky contact. The substrate 1 and insulation 2 may be Si and SiO 2 and the electrodes Al, Cr, W or Mo.
