In a semiconductor device 10 including a structure where transfer electrodes 2a to 2c are disposed on a semiconductor substrate 1 via an insulation layer 3, a first semiconductor region 4 of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region 5 of a conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type, and a third semiconductor region 6 of the first conductivity type in a position that overlaps a region of the semiconductor substrate 1 directly underneath the transfer electrodes 2a to 2c. The second semiconductor region 5 is formed on the first semiconductor region 4. The third semiconductor region 6 is formed on the second semiconductor region 5 so that a position of a maximal point 8 of electric potential of the second semiconductor region 5 when being depleted is deeper than a position of the maximal point 8 in a case where the third semiconductor region 6 does not exist.
摘要:
In making solid state imaging devices smaller and increasing their number of pixels, it is desirable to increase the charge amount that can be handled per unit area of the transfer portions. It is possible to achieve this by making the insulating film thinner, but this leads to electric fields in the semiconductor substrate that are too strong, and causes problems such as the generation of noise and the deterioration of the transfer efficiency. This invention relaxes potential steps in the transfer region by applying, when a signal charge 1 is being read out (t=t2), a high voltage to the electrode 43 for reading out the signal charge, a low voltage to at least one of the electrodes 41, 45-47 for preventing unnecessary mixing of signal charges, and an intermediate voltage between the high voltage and the low voltage to the electrodes 42 and 44, which are adjacent to the electrode 43 to which the high voltage is applied.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a charge transfer device having high transfer efficiency without leaving over signal charges, a charge transfer device substantially shortened in the gate length so as to enhance the transfer speed, and a method of manufacturing and a method of driving such device. In the charge transfer device of the invention, the n.sup.- diffusion layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. In the surface region of the n.sup.- diffusion layer, a plurality of n diffusion layers are formed at equal intervals. The interval of the adjacent n diffusion layers is about 5 to 10 .mu.m. On the n.sup.- diffusion layer, an insulation film is formed. On the insulation film, transfer electrodes having two different shapes are formed. The transfer electrodes of these two types are alternately arranged. These transfer electrodes differ in length. The length of the longer transfer electrodes is about twice the length of the shorter transfer electrodes. Furthermore, the right end of the n diffusion layer nearly coincides with the right end of the longer transfer electrodes formed on the gate oxide film in the spatial position.

In a transmitter device of a smart entry system for a vehicle, a transmitter antenna is provided between a variable power circuit and the ground, and is controlled by a switching circuit to transmit a searching radio wave. The transmission power of the antenna, that is, a range of reach of the searching radio wave is variably controlled by a drive output voltage applied to the antenna by a variable power circuit, which converts a battery voltage to the drive output voltage. Data to be transmitted in the searching radio wave is not used to modulate the drive output voltage but is used in an ON/OFF control of the switching circuit.
