Abstract :
A 48 M-pixel, 6 k times 8 k, 36 times 48 mm2 full-frame CCD imager was developed for professional digital SLR cameras and digital camera backs. Compared to the previous generation CCD, the pixel area was reduced by 30% from 7.2times7.2 mum2 to 6.0 times 6.0 mum2 to meet the demands for higher resolution. Still, by improvements in technology and design, the SNR under identical exposure conditions was increased by 30%.
