            Abstract : 
A flat type image sensor consisting of a field emitter array (FEA) and a high-gain avalanche rushing amorphous photoconductor (HARP) target is developed as the low light imaging compact camera. In this paper, the structure and fundamental characteristics of a prototype 2/3-inch HEED-HARP image sensor are described.
