An analytical model for the charge loss as a function of transfer time under low charge levels in surface channel charge-coupled devices has been theoretically determined and experimentally confirmed. The model includes the effect of surface states. A new method of measuring charge transfer makes it possible to determine the role that surface states play in the degradation of signal charge transfer.
