A 1-inch optical format frame interline transfer CCD image sensor with 1920(H) × 1036(V) pixels has been developed for an HDTV camera. This device has the Al wiring in the image area reducing the voltage drop of drive pulse for V-CCD and has the spreading shape transfer gate in H-CCD improving the transfer efficiency in dual channel H-CCD. It achieves a horizontal resolution of 1000 TV lines, a sensitivity of 70 nA/lx, a dynamic range of 72dB and a smear reduction of -100dB.
