    The charge-coupled device


    The charge-coupled device (CCD) is an integrated circuit comprising an array of minute semiconductor memory cells on a silicon chip that converts light received through a lens into a series of electrical charges that are directly related to the intensity of any given picture element (pixel). The CCD camera is a type of camera for converting light into electrical signals since it is based on semiconductors rather than on thermionic emission. The CCD comprises a light-sensitive array of metal-oxide semiconductors on a silicon chip. It is much more sensitive than the vidicon tube and it is also able to store images in such a way that each pixel (picture element) in the image is converted into an electrical charge the intensity of which is related to the colour in the colour spectrum. The charge is removed from the array and processed to form an image by electrodes attached to the surface of the chip. The longer the light falls on the array, the larger the charge stored. Thus, the CCD is more sensitive than photographic film and enables light to be gathered from faint sources. For example, both amateur and professional astronomers use CCD cameras in place of the eye and photographic film to record images in their telescopes. For surveillance purposes, CCD images can be gathered in near darkness, and CCDs are used in digital cameras, camcorders, scanners and bar code readers. The word megapixel refers to the remarkable resolution (the amount of detail) of images taken by CCDs in digital cameras, one megapixel being, say, an image comprising 1024 1024 pixel. On the surface of the semiconductor chip making up the CCD is a long row of tiny metal electrodes that overlay a thin oxide layer formed on the surface of a p-type substrate. A three-phase clock network alternately activates the electrodes in turn by being switched from 0V to say +10V. If an electrode is pulsed to a positive voltage, it is capable of attracting a negative charge to the underside of the oxide layer beneath it. It is as if the positively charged metal electrode creates a kind of “bucket” that can hold electric charge. Charge-coupling is the technique by which signal charge can be transferred from the bucket under one electrode to the next bucket. This is achieved by taking the voltage on the send electrode also to 10V then reducing the voltage to 0V on the first electrode. Hence by pulsing the voltages on the electrodes sequentially between high and low levels, charge signals can be made to pass down an array of very many electrodes. To achieve this, the electrodes are connected in sequence to a set of three-phase drive pulses. Charge signals can then be stored under every third electrode in the array and will be transferred together along the array under the control of the drive pulses. The use of three phases ensures that the charges move in the right direction. By letting the presence or absence of a charge represent digital values of 0 and 1, and by providing amplifiers for injecting and detecting these charges, a very simple and compact type of computer memory device is possible. If a CCD used as an electronic sensor is a camera, the metal electrodes will be overlaid by surfaces that are optically sensitive. A different type of light-sensitive semiconductor array is the Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor that is a rival to the CCD sensor. CMOS is a switching circuit based on the combination of n-channel and p-channel field-effect transistors.
