Abstract
A CCD-solid state image sensor includes a sensing area for generating signal charges in response to incident light, a storage area for storing the signal charges from the sensing area, an HCCD (Horizontal Charge Coupled Device) for extracting the signal charges stored in the storage area, a high sensitivity signal charge detection and amplification circuit for detecting and amplifying signal charges of electrons from the HCCD, and a low sensitivity signal charge detection and amplification circuit for detecting and amplifying signal charges of holes from the HCCD.
