Abstract
A charge-coupled device includes an array of insulated electrodes vertically penetrating into a semiconductor substrate. The array includes rows of alternated longitudinal and transverse electrodes. Each end of a longitudinal electrode of a row is opposite and separated from a portion of an adjacent transverse electrode of that row. Electric insulation walls extend parallel to one another and to the longitudinal electrodes. The insulation walls penetrate vertically into the substrate deeper than the longitudinal electrodes. At least two adjacent rows of electrodes are arranged between each two successive insulation walls.
