ABSTRACT:
Methods for storing and transferring electrical charges between adjacently spaced storage regions in semiconductor substrate are disclosed. In one embodiment, a plurality of adjacently spaced conductor members are insulatingly disposed over a major surface of a semiconductor substrate. Each storage region is separated from each other storage region by an electrical barrier region underlying the spacing between the adjacent conductor members. These barrier regions are controllably lowered by an electrode interposed between adjacent conductor members. Electrical charges stored in one storage region are transferred to an adjacent storage region by applying a voltage signal to the interposed electrode to lower the barrier region between the adjacent storage regions. Direction of charge transfer is controlled by the relative surface potentials of the adjacent storage regions and the magnitude of transfer is controlled by the height of the barrier region when lowered. Means for transferring partial charges are disclosed along with means for periodically regenerating charges to a predetermined level. Methods for transferring electrical charges with high efficiency of transfer are also disclosed.
