A 1-mm 50 k-Pixel IT CCD image sensor for miniature camera system

摘要

The world's smallest image sensor (1-mm 50 k-pixel interline CCD) has been developed. It features an extremely small pixel of 4/spl times/4 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ integration of a V/sub sub/ adjust circuit, and a packageless assembly of a chip provided microlens. The resultant chip size and the assembled device outer size are 1.1(H)/spl times/1.34(V) mm and 1.2(H)/spl times/1.5(V) mm, respectively.
