Abstract:Blooming occurs when conventional CCD operates under high-light imaging situations, but it can be significantly reduced by vertical overflow drain (VOD) structure. In this paper, analysis on the VOD structure and its potential indicate that anti-blooming barrier is the main factor for the VOD structure to realize anti-blooming function and the height of anti-blooming barrier is determined by implant dose of p-well and buried channel charge-coupled device (BCCD). And the process conditions are determined by simulations, and the anti-blooming capacity of the VOD CCD fabricated based on the simulation results exceeds 100 times.
