At the signal transfer, bias charges are dumped into the vertical signal output lines from the CTD, and mixed charges consisting of the bias charges and signal charges are transferred to the CTD.

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.
