Abstract
A 2/3-in optical format 2 M pixel STACK-CCD inager has been developed. The STACK-CCD imager, overlaid with an amorphous silicon photoconvers ion layer realizes a large signal charge handling capability of 1.0 x 10(5) electrons, a -140 dB smear noise and a 90 dB dynamic range with a newly introduced device configuration and its unique operation. The 5.0 mu m(H) x 5.2 mu m(V) unit pixel imager with sufficiently low imag e lag has been realized by a novel bias charge injection scheme. These device performances are the best ever achieved by a CCD HDTV inager. This is the first such imager satisfying the device performances requi red for a practical use 2/3-in 2 M pixel HDTV imager.
