Abstract
A semiconductor energy detector as disclosed herein is arranged so that an aluminum wiring pattern is formed on the front side of transfer electrodes of a CCD vertical shift register, which pattern includes meander-shaped auxiliary wirings for performing auxiliary application/supplement and additional wirings for performing auxiliary supplement of transfer voltages in a way independent of the auxiliary wirings with respective ones of such wirings being connected to corresponding transfer electrodes to thereby avoid a problem as to lead resistivities at those transfer electrodes made of polycrystalline silicon, thus achieving the intended charge transfer at high speeds with high efficiency.
