ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imager includes vertical CCD shift registers for transferring photogenerated signal charge packets produced by a group of photodiodes belonging to a first series, vertical CCD shift registers for transferring photogenerated signal charge packets produced by photodiodes belonging to a second series, a horizontal CCD shift register for receiving signal charge packets shifted through both the vertical shift registers and transferring them to an output circuit and a coupling circuit provided between the horizontal CCD shift register and both the vertical CCD shift registers, all the components being formed on a single semiconductor substrate. Through the coupling circuit, one of two series of photogenerated signal packets transferred from both the vertical CCD shift registers located adjacent to each other are transferred to the horizontal CCD shift register beneath a set of storage electrodes thereof, which is followed by the transfer of the other series of signal charge packets to the horizontal shift register beneath other set of storage electrode. The horizontal CCD shift register transfers sequentially and alternately two series of the photogenerated signal charge packets to an output circuit. Two series of the signal charge packets can thus be transferred through the single horizontal CCD shift register.
