H. Nozaki et al., HG-SENSITIZED PHOTOCHEMICAL VAPOR-DEPOSITION APPLICATION TO HYDROGENATED AMORPHOUS-SILICON PHOTOCONVERSION LAYER OVERLAID ON CHARGE-COUPLED-DEVICE, JPN J A P 1, 34(5A), 1995, pp. 2223-2228
An Hg-sensitized photochemical vapor deposition method has been develo
ped which has enabled a hydrogenated amorphous silicon photoconversion
layer to be overlaid on a charge coupled device (CCD) imager, without
a pixel separation structure. This chemical vapor deposition (CVD) me
thod has been used to realize imaging devices with high sensitivity an
d high resolution for high-definition TV.
