    • A multiplication register for use in solid state imaging apparatus, such as a CCD, is described. The multiplication register has a gain element 22 comprising a plurality of register electrodes 30, 32, 34, and 36, for transferring charge along a change transfer channel, and for amplifying the charge. Channel edge defining electrodes 24 and 26 are disposed either side of the channel 28, in place of channel stops, removing the effects of spurious charges generated in the channel in the regions of amplification. The provision of the channel edge defining electrodes 24 and 26 allows the resulting structure of the channel electrodes to be made simpler, and means that a structure can be provided for clocking and amplifying charge in either direction along the channel.

    • Effective sensitivity of a photodetector of an image sensor is controlled by partitioning signal charge from incident photons, thus producing a manageable yield and a consequently higher, photon shot noise limited, signal to noise ratio than in the prior art, when imaging high flux rates of energetic photons or particles, such as produced by x-ray generators. The invention may be applied, for example, to an image sensor with a photosensitive layer coupled to a charge collection/readout structure, e.g. photoconductor or scintillator on CMOS array, or to an intrinsically sensitive charge collection/readout structure, e.g. deep active layer CMOS. A radiation sensor pixel structure 10 for use in the invention includes a photodetector 11, a transfer gate 131 for controlling charge collection from the photodetector and a dump drain 12 controlled by a dump gate 121, arranged for selectively dumping charge to the dump drain means and collecting charge from the photodetector means, in a duty cycle 31, for varying effective sensitivity of the pixel structure. An image sensor containing such pixel structures may selectively be operated in an integration mode or a photon counting mode. Preferably the image sensor has imaging pixels and control circuitry arranged on a same semiconductor die, such as a CMOS semiconductor die.

    • Vertical and horizontal smear in images produced by a CCD imager can be compensated for by detecting the boundaries of the smear and substituting data from an alternative part of the image, or interpolated data within those boundaries. Vertical, or frame transfer, smear can also be compensated for by producing an error signal from charge accumulated during frame transfer and corresponding to one or more masked rows of the CCD imager. This error signal can be subtracted from the line signals corresponding to each row of the CCD images receiving radiation during image acquisitions. The CCD imager includes a multiplication register. The dynamic range of the imager may be extended by varying the gain of the multiplication register, for example on a line-by-line or frame-by-frame basis.

    • A system for time resolved spectroscopy comprises a CCD device arranged to receive a time varying spectrum. Time resolved spectroscopy is the analysis of a spectrum that varies with time due to any cause. The variation with time of the spectrum may be due, for example, to (i) changes of the spectrum from a given sample space with time (such as due to emission decay); and (ii) changes in the spectrum as successive portions of a sample space are sampled (such as laser scanning microscopy). The CCD device comprises an array of photosites arranged to detect the time varying spectrum and to produce signal charge representative of the spectrum, and one or more CCD multiplication registers arranged to receive the signal charge and to provide charge multiplication. An enhancement of speed and sensitivity is given by a storage area which receives the signal charge in parallel from the array of photosites to provide the charge in serial to the one or more multiplication registers.
