A S-VHS compatible 1/3" 720(H)*588(V) FT-CCD with low dark current by surface pinning

A 35-mm format 11 M pixel full-frame CCDfor professional digital still imaging

“…for "blue" as for "green" packets, implying no charge mixing occurs (from large green to small blue signals). The reason for this is that at the default VPS setting of 6 V, the Si-SiO interface under the blocking gates is inverted with holes [9]. The electrons will recombine and are thus lost: this explains why the charge loss of the large packets will not influence the neighboring small packets.…”

“…an increase compared to conventional VAB imagers [3] from 2500 to 10000 electrons per fim' effective electrode area. T h e vertical antiblooming structure handles highlights well above 1000 times overexposure, and electronic shutter action is achieved as before.…”

“…For a 4-phase, 1 / 3 " FT-CCD pixel with vertical anti-blooming (VAB) operating in conventional interlaced mode [ 3 ] , t,his yields (6.9 pm -2.0pm) x 6.3 pm = 31 p m 2 . The maximum chargc capacity Q,,,, of this pixel is in the order of 80 000 electrons.…”
