摘要:
A charge-coupled device comprises transfer gate electrodes separated from a substrate by a multi-layer insulating film, and gate electrodes of MIS transistors separated from the substrate by a single layer insulating film. The multilayer insulating film comprising at least a lower silicon oxide layer of 10 nm to 200 nm thickness and an upper silicon nitride layer of 10 nm to 100 nm thickness. Since each of the gate insulating films of the MIS transistors is the same layer as the lower silicon oxide layer, there occurs no degradation in the transistor characteristics due to the surface states or the trapping states present within the silicon nitride layer.

A mark detecting unit detects a mark that is a reference position of an endless belt. An angular-displacement-error detecting unit detects an angular displacement error of an encoder caused by thickness fluctuation of the endless belt. A first calculating unit calculates a phase and a maximum amplitude to the mark. A second calculating unit calculates correction data according to a distance from the mark on the endless belt. A belt-drive control device controls a belt driving unit by adding the correction data to a preset control target value to stabilize speed fluctuation of the endless belt due to the thickness fluctuation.
