Abstract:A low smear interline transfer charge coupled device image sensor has been designed and developed, with an effective array size of 2048×2048 elements and a pixel size of 9 micrometers×9 micrometers. To achieve low smear characteristics of the device, a vertical CCD p-well was designed and fabricated to form a barrier around the vertical CCD buried channel, reducing the entry of photo generated electrons into the vertical CCD channel; A microlens array was designed and fabricated in the photosensitive region to converge incident light into the photosensitive region and reduce stray light entering the vertical CCD channel; A light blocking tungsten metal was designed and produced in the vertical CCD, which formed a good coverage for the vertical CCD outside the photosensitive area. After testing, the device dispersion reached -82dB, which can meet the normal use requirements of the device.
