摘要:
A charge-coupled device comprises transfer gate electrodes separated from a substrate by a multilayer 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.

Photoelectric converting parts and vertical CCD register parts are formed in a semiconductor substrate. Polysilicon electrodes are formed on the vertical CCD register parts. On the polysilicon electrodes, polysilicon oxide film and dielectric film are deposited. On the polysilicon electrodes, contact windows are formed by mask matching and etching. The contact windows are formed in the first polysilicon electrode and second polysilicon electrode so as to realize four-phase drive of the solid-state image pickup device. Polysilicon film and tungsten silicide film are formed thereon. By etching these films, a first wiring is formed. A second wiring of aluminum film is formed thereon through an interlayer dielectric film. Hence, a high transfer efficiency and a favorable smear noise characteristic are presented at low illumination.

A semiconductor device and a method of inspecting the same are described. The semiconductor device does not need voltage adjustment of an external driver circuit, since it contains a voltage generator to inspect and memorize the best value of voltage by controlling from outside. The voltage generator has a plurality of capacitors whose electrodes of one side are connected to a common node, a potential changing circuit to change the potential to which the other electrodes of these capacitors are connected respectively, and a buffer amplifier whose input power is the voltage generated in the common node. The output power of the buffer amplifier is connected to a semiconductor integrated circuit. The potential changing circuit is provided to change the potential to which the electrode of each capacitor is connected to a source potential or to a ground potential depending on the connection of the fuse connected between the source and each of the capacitors.

A solid-state image pickup device relating to the present invention comprises a pixel area where multiple pixels used for photoelectric conversion of incident light are two-dimensionally arranged. Vertical signal input lines to which vertical transfer signals for transferring signal charges generated at the pixels vertically in the pixel area are applied are connected to the pixel area. Furthermore, horizontal signal input lines to which horizontal transfer signals for horizontally transferring the signal charges are applied are connected to a horizontal transfer part for horizontally transferring the signal charges transferred vertically in the pixel area. A signal separation part separates vertical and horizontal transfer signals from a pulse signal supplied via a complex signal input terminal and supplies the separated signals to the vertical signal input line and the horizontal signal input line, respectively.

A color image forming apparatus including a plurality of photosensitive drums on which toner images of different colors are respectively formed. An endless belt confronts the plurality of photosensitive drums. A drive source drives rotation of the endless belt, or alternatively plural drive sources drive the photosensitive drums to individually rotate. A memory stores pre-measured characteristics of a color misregistration of a color image in a sub-scanning direction of the apparatus, the color image formed by transferring images from respective of the plurality of photosensitive drums. Further, a control unit changes an average running speed of the endless belt, or alternatively an average running speed of at least some of the photosensitive drums, by controlling the drive sources, to compensate for color misregistration, based on the stored characteristics of color misregistration. The belt can either transport a paper sheet or have a color image formed thereon as an intermediate transfer device.

An image forming apparatus includes a belt stretched across rollers and a resist rotary member that feeds out a recording medium on the belt. A correlation between a velocity of the belt and the resist rotary member is obtained. A target velocity of the belt or the resist rotary member, at which a difference between the velocity when the recording medium is in contact with both the belt and the resist rotary member and the velocity when the recording medium is not in contact with at least either the belt or the resist rotary member is minimum, is determined based on the correlation.
