Abstract

The first versions of the present visible image sensors came with the development of the MOS LSI technology in the late 1960's and the introduction of the charge-coupled device (CCD) in 1970. As a result of the large effort of the semiconductor industry on silicon VLSI technology there has been also a steady progress in the last two decades on the development of visible and infrared image sensors. The present state-of-the-art in the visible solid-state image sensors includes: highresolution line scanners with up to 7500 elements on a single chip, consumer color TV cameras and camcorders; high-resolution imagers for broadcast cameras, HDTV image sensors with 1920 x 1036 pixels; imagers for electronic photography with up to 4 million pixels; and "scientific" imagers with up to 4096 × 4096 pixels for astronomy, space applications, and machine vision.
