ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit is described which includes an array of electronic devices and a plurality of electronic access devices. The access devices consist of sets of MOSFETs which may be turned on by the joint action of X and Y address lines to permit individual and isolated electrical connection between selected electronic devices in the array and peripheral on or off-chip sensing circuits. This permits continuous readout to be established and maintained for the selected devices without interference with the other devices in the array and without a requirement to readout any but the selected devices. One important embodiment of the present invention is one in which the electronic devices are visible or infrared radiation detectors. In order to provide minimum dead space between the array detectors, the array and access devices may be disposed on opposite surfaces of the semiconductor body.
