Abstract

HDTV technology is now entering the practical stage. Efforts have been devoted to realizing the hand-held HDTV camera using three 2/3-inch 2.0M-pixel CCDs. However, the data reported so far showed poor performance because of the limited space of the unit pixel. This high performance 2/3-inch 2.0M-pixel CCD with a single HCCD employs M-FIT architecture. The CCD exhibits saturation current of 580nA, sensitivity of 44nA/lx, smear level of -100dB, and amplitude response at 800TV lines of 60%.<>
