  • Abstract
    A technique for operating buried channel CCD imagers to achieve very low dark current with no loss in optical sensitivity is described. Using this technique on a 4-phase CCD shift register operated in an imaging mode, the dark current is reduced from 7.0 nA/cm2to 0.60 nA/cm2at 295°K.
