Abstract
A CCD comprises a sensing array and a readout register extending adjacent an edge of the sensing array. The readout register has first and second rows of transfer cells. The first row of transfer cells is between the sensing array and the second row. The transfer cells of the first row are of lower capacity than the transfer cells of the second row and are separated from the transfer cells of the second row by a potential barrier.
