Abstract

A photosensitive device for the infrared range wherein each detector is connected to a first and a second MOS transistor. The second MOS transistors are addressed, column by column, by a first shift register. The first MOS transistors are connected, line by line, to a charge storage capacity and to a third charge reading MOS transistor addressed by a second shift register. The whole of the device is placed in a cryostat which only has a single output.
