Abstract
In analog signal processing applications, the charge handling capacity of a charge coupled device (CCD) is an important parameter that determines the dynamic range. In this paper, approximate expressions for the signal handling capacity for surface-channel and buried-channel CCD´s are derived and compared. The upper limit for the buried-channel charge capacity is imposed by the onset of surface electron accumulation.
