A 480 × 400 element image sensor with a charge sweep device

A description of a vertical charge transfer that makes it possible to narrow the channel width to the size of the lithographic limit without degradation of charge handling capacity of the vertical charge transfer will be presented. The array size of the imager sensor with a 1/2" format is 480(V)×400(H) and the pixel size is
10×16μ^{2}
.
