Abstract
A charge-coupled device includes a parallel section of parallel channels which are situated next to one another and are mutually separated by limitation zones, and a single readout register coupled thereto. The readout register is provided with clock electrodes in a multi-layer wiring system, the electrodes of the upper layer belonging to a common phase and being constructed as a continuous track which extends over the other electrodes. In the bottom wiring layer, electrodes are formed which are each associated with a limitation zone between the parallel channels and which have a length which is at most equal to the width of the limitation zones, and which also belong to a common phase, so that narrow-channel effects are avoided. The invention is of particular importance for CCD image sensors.
