ABSTRACT:
An array of linear CCD image sensors comprises first, second and third CCD image sensors arranged in spaced parallel relation on a body of a semiconductor material. Each CCD image sensor comprises a row of photodetectors, a CCD shift register extending along the row of photodetectors and an output circuit at one end of the CCD shift register. All of the output circuits are at a common end of their respective CCD shift registers. Each CCD shift register includes first and second sets of gate electrodes alternating along the CCD shift register. A first bus line connects the first gate electrodes of each CCD shift register and a second bus line electrically connects the second gate electrodes of each CCD shift register. One of the bus lines of the second CCD shift register is electrically connected to a bus line of the first CCD shift register, and the other bus line of the second CCD shift register is electrically connected to a bus line of the third CCD shift register. This allows all of the bus lines to extend around the output circuits without extending the space between the image sensors.
