“…However, they do not really fulfill completely the requirements put on the new generation of television systems. For instance, the interline HDTV imagers all have problems with smear [ 11, [5], the very sensitive PSID sensor with an amorphous top layer is characterized by a severe amount of image lag, bum-in effects, and pixel nonuniformity [2], the first FIT reported does not contain the full resolution of 1920 pixels/line [3]. Later FIT'S with the full HDTV resolution need microlenses to increase their sensitivity and need a complicated charge-resetting method [4].…”

A very-high-performance HDTV image sensor is presented. The device tackles successfully a few typical "HDTV challenges": the very high RC values of the CCD gates are drastically lowered by means of a new interconnect scheme; a dual horizontal output register is used to lower the output rate; the device is provided with an output amplifier characterized by low noise, high bandwidth, and high conversion efficiency; and finally the imager is designed with a very compact and efficient image cell, providing the functions of photo-conversion, charge transport, highlight handling, charge resetting, and charge pumping. Compared to the competition, an imager with a high resolution, no smear when used in a professional camera, no image lag, simple charge-reset method or electronic shutter, and a high pixel uniformity with a fully linear response has been realized. 2304 samples I 1920 samoles 384 samde4 I I 5.33 psec' 26.67 p e c I 32 usec I Fig. 1.
