摘要： A solid-state imaging device is provided which employs CCDs as vertical shift registers and a horizontal shift register for vertically and horizontally scanning and reading out a large number of photoelectric elements arrayed in a two-dimensional plane. The imaging device is characterized in that the photoelectric elements of each column arranged between the vertical shift registers are alternately connected to the right and left vertical shift registers. This results in the resolution of the device being enhanced sharply.

摘要： In a charge transfer semiconductor device majority carriers are transferred within a semiconductor body on a substrate from means for introducing majority carriers to means for detecting transferred majority carriers by applying pulsed voltages to a series of electrodes disposed on an insulating layer which is disposed on one surface of the semiconductor body between the introducing means and the detecting means. Depletion regions are formed within the semiconductor body, so that one end of a depletion region below one electrode reaches the substrate and another end of a depletion region below an electrode next to the one electrode does not reach the substrate, whereby majority carriers below the one electrode are pushed out below the next electrode.
