The 2009 Nobel Prize for Physics went, in part, to the inventors of the charge-coupled device George Smith and Willard Boyle this week. Their innovation, sketched out in 1969, is now the imager in ...

CCD (Charge-coupled Devices) are a technology used in optical microscopy to record images of organic and inorganic structures in fine detail. This article will discuss these devices and why they are ...

A type of CCD sensor from Fujifilm that is used in its digital cameras. Super CCD uses a honeycomb structure of octagon-shaped light sensors (photodiodes) at 45 degree angles rather than 90 degrees.

Imec has proposed a 3D integrated CCD that can operate as a block-addressable buffer memory, in support of data-intensive compute applications. Memory operation is demonstrated on a planar ...
