Charge transfer - photodetector with improved image quality

摘要

Photodetector comprising a matrix (100) of charge transfer elements which is divided into an image zone (110) and a memory zone (120), this detector being provided with a closure pane (200) having an inner face (210) pointing towards the said matrix, and an outer face (220) opposite the said inner face. According to the invention, the said inner face (210) of the closure pane (200) includes a mask (212) for protecting at least the said memory zone (120) from intense illuminations, this mask (212) having an opening (213) facing the said image zone (110). Application to charge transfer matrix photodetectors. IMAGE
