SummaryOverviewHistoryBasics of operationDetailed physics of operationArchitectureUse in astronomyColor cameras

A charge-coupled device (CCD) is an integrated circuit containing an array of linked, or coupled, capacitors. Under the control of an external circuit, each capacitor can transfer its electric charge to a neighboring capacitor. CCD sensors are a major technology used in digital imaging.

Basics of Charge Coupled Devices

Charge is held by voltage potential until end of integration, then shifted, one pixel at a time, row by row to output. Large CCDs move charge through thousands of pixels (c.f., CTE, multiple amplifiers)

Lecture Notes 2 Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) { Part I

We need to relate the CCD gate voltage to the surface potential when there is depletion charge and mobile charge (Qs in electrons/cm2) under the gate (MOS capacitor)
