Reported here is a two-phase CCD register that features charge injected floating gate electrodes. Each transfer electrode (including both barrier and storage electrodes) contains both a floating gate and a control gate. A potential barrier under each barrier electrode is formed by injecting electrons into the floating gate, resulting in barrier regions which are self-aligned with the barrier electrodes. A 50-stage CCD register has been successfully fabricated and operated at a 5 MHz clock frequency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
