Abstract:A novel scanning device utilizing the mino rity carrier storaee effect in a bipolar transis tor ( MCSD ) is presented. MCSD principle opera tion and imaging application are mentioned. MCSD has a working frequency range that depends on the characteristics of the transistors in use, that is, 0.6 -1014Hz ( life time TF= 50 nsec ) or 0. 1 -0.5 MHz ('tF=600 nsec). The computed working range also shows the essential influence of the time constants of transistors. An integra ted MCSD with 64 stages and 64 photo-trans… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
