Abstract :
A 2/3-in 2.0 M-pixel CCD imager with an advanced multiple frame-interline transfer (M-FIT) architecture has been developed. The architecture features highly improved sensor performance and progressive-scan capability. The experimentally fabricated device achieves the sensitivity of 44 nA/lx, saturation current of 580 nA, and smear level of -100 dB
