摘要： Signal charges photo-excited and stored in photodiodes are read by two field read operations of interlace drive. At least during a period of reading a first field, a predetermined voltage is applied to the semiconductor substrate to set the potential barrier of a region between each photodiode and a corresponding overflow drain region higher than the channel potential barrier between the photodiode and a corresponding vertical transfer path. It is therefore possible to prevent signal charges to be read during the next field read operation from leaking to the overflow drain during the first field read operation.

摘要： A solid-state CCD image pick-up device includes optoelectric transducing elements corresponding to pixels vertically and horizontally arrayed in a matrix forming column linear arrays defining a column direction and at least one vertical charge transfer path associated with a corresponding adjacent column linear array. Pixel signals are vertically transferred from the column linear arrays to the vertical charge transfer paths such that gate signals occurring at predetermined times are applied to gate electrodes of the vertical charge transfer paths to permit the pixel signals to be scan read by a horizontal charge transfer path. Switching elements are provided for transfer gate electrodes and a drive circuit sequentially generates drive signals for groups of gate electrodes during periods in which the switching elements are rendered conductive to allow a full frame scan read to be performed by supplying a predetermined number of timing signals to the gate electrodes. The pick-up device can be fabricated with high density integration and high pixel density and can be provided with an improved vertical overflow drain structure. The image pick-up device also provides an electronic shutter function having improved vertical resolution. A shift register for producing improved vertical resolution is also disclosed.
