Preferred Label : charge-transfer device;
Detailed label : charge-transfer device in radiation detection;
IUPAC acronym : CID; MOS; CCD;
IUPAC definition : A charge-transfer device has a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) structure that is composed
of many independent pixels where charge is stored in such a way that the charge pattern
corresponds to the irradiation pattern. These devices can be linear or two-dimensional.
According to the method used to detect the charge pattern, two types of charge-transfer
devices can be distinguished: charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and charge-injection devices
(CIDs).;
Origin ID : C01004;
