摘要： A photoelectric device having at least a predetermined impurity region which is disposed in a semiconductor substrate, and a photoelectric conversion portion which is constructed by stacking an electrode layer lying in contact with at least a part of the impurity region, a photoconductive material layer overlying the electrode layer, and a transparent electrode overlying the photoconductive material layer, characterized in that the photoconductive material layer is made of an amorphous chalcogenide material which principally contains Se, is disclosed. It is very favorable that the photoelectric conversion material layer made of the amorphous material principally containing Se is partially doped with Te so as to enhance its sensitivity. The amorphous chalcogenide material is very useful in the following point. In the course of forming, or after having formed, at least one photoconductive layer on a semiconductor body whose surface is uneven, a heat treatment is performed at a temperature of at least the softening point of the photoconductor so as to flatten the layer, whereby discontinuous parts of the photoconductor ascribable to the uneven surface of the semiconductor body can be avoided.

摘要： An optical image sensor apparatus in which a plurality of photosensors arrayed in a primary scanning direction are scanned to produce readout signals. The plurality of photosensors are classified into a number of groups each including a predetermined number of the photosensors, wherein those photosensors occupying equivalently the same position in the different groups are combined in common. The outputs of the photosensors are sequentially and selectively scanned on a group basis to produce readout signal for each of the groups. To provide a scanning readout operation at an increased speed, an integrating circuit is provided for each of the photosensors exchangeably for each group. The outputs of all the photosensors belonging to a given one of the group are simultaneously supplied to the respective integrating circuits. The readout signal output is obtained by scanning sequentially the outputs of the integrating circuits.
