  • Abstract
    A modified bipolar-phototransistor structure suitable for use in large imaging arrays is described. The structure exhibits an improved capacitance ratio and reduced dark current. Despite a reduced spectral sensitivity, the proposed device has performance advantages compared with those of the standard phototransistor when used in the charge-storage mode.
