Abstract
A solid state imager, in which the thin-film heterojunction is overlaid on the interline transfer CCD, has been developed. This solid-state imager has several advantages, such as high sensitivity and low smearing signal. However, to reveal its ability fully, operational design, for use between the photoconductor and the CCD scanner, is necessary. In this paper, the device operational designs have been analyzed and tested with the experimental results. Another important problem for this device is the highlight lag. It has been shown to be overcome by signal processing during blanking period. The reproduced image achieved with a single chip color camera is also shown.
