Abstract :
A static-induction-transistor (SIT) image sensor with an n/sup +/ buried drain region is discussed. This region acts as a filter to eliminate the optical information at longer wavelengths. As a result, a spectral response close to that of the human eye is obtained. This result is also proved theoretically.<>
