ABSTRACT:
A bulk channel charge coupled imaging device having selective wavelength sensitivity includes a semiconductor layer in which pattern information in the form of discrete packets of majority charge carriers is generated and transported. The semiconductor layer has a concentration of at least one doping impurity characteristic of its conductivity type and a concentration of at least one deep level impurity which provides centers for trapping majority charge carriers. The doping impurity concentration and the deep level impurity concentration are such that depletion regions can be formed extending through the thickness of the layer while avoiding breakdown only as a result of substantially all the deep level centers within the depletion regions being full of majority charge carriers characteristic of the conductivity type of the semiconductor layer.
