    摘要: In a case where a thinning operation is implemented at the point when signal charges are read out from each of pixels to thin out pixel information by lines (row), the thinning may be performed only in the vertical direction, but not in the horizontal direction. In an all-pixel-read-out type CCD image pickup element, a discharge controlling section is provided in each of VH transfer stage sections transferring signal charges from vertical CCDs to a horizontal CCD, and where a thinning mode is selected, among those signal charges transferred from a plurality of the vertical CCDs, those of a given set of columns are stopped and discharged at the respective discharge controlling sections, and those of the rest of columns are transferred to the horizontal CCD, and at the same time, those of a given set of lines (rows) are stopped and discharged for all columns, thereby performing the thinning operation over the pixel information in both the vertical and horizontal directions at the VH transfer stage.

    摘要: A plurality (e.g., an odd number) of CCD shift registers are provided in parallel, and a channel stop separates between the respective adjacent CCD shift registers and is partially cut out in order to make it possible for a carrier which passes through the CCD shift registers to move toward the side portion. Carrier (electrons) supplied from an input section to the center CCD shift register are measured at the outputs of the other CCD shift registers, and the intensity (the magnetic-flux density) of the magnetic field is determined on the basis of the absolute value thereof, and the direction of the lines of magnetic force is determined on the basis of whether the difference is positive or negative.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a solid-state image pick-up device changes part of the constituent elemental Si into the n-type impurity phosphorus P, thus changing the substrate to an n-type, by atomic transmutation through neutron irradiation of a p-type silicon Si wafer, and thus produces a Si substrate with a resistivity .rho..sub.s of 10 to 100 ohm-cm. or preferably 40 to 60 ohm-cm. A solid-state image pick-up device with a plurality of photosensors and vertical and horizontal shift registers as set forth above is then fabricated using the resulting Si substrate. In the preferred process, the silicon substrate can be obtained by irradiating a wafer sectioned from a crystal grown by the MCZ method, for instance, with neutrons as described before until it has the required resistivity .rho..sub.s. This silicon substrate is preferably of a p-type before neutron irradiation, that is, in the crystal growth state, and its resistivity .rho..sub.o is then ten or more times higher (100 ohm-cm. or more) than that .rho..sub.s obtained following neutron irradiation. For instance, if .rho..sub.s is to be 40 to 50 ohm-cm., .rho..sub.o should be 680 to 1180 ohm-cm. Then n-type impurities, e.g. phosphorus P are generated by neutron irradiation to convert the silicon substrate to n-type with a low resistivity of .rho..sub.S =10 to 100 ohm-cm., or of 40 to 50 ohm-cm.

    摘要: A method driving for a solid-state image pickup device in which it is possible to achieve a high dynamic range readout without causing unnaturalness in the reproduced picture particularly even when filming a subject moving at high speed. Primary signal charges are generated by adjacent first and second pixels and are subsequently mixed in the vertical transfer register. Auxiliary signal charges are also generated in adjacent first and second pixels, and, generation of the primary signal charge for the second pixel occurs prior to generation of the auxiliary signal charge of the first pixel.
