Abstract
A switched CCD electrode photodetector includes a substrate made of first semi-conductor type, a drain made of a second semi-conductor type formed in the substrate, a collection well made of the second semi-conductor type formed in the substrate, and a switched CCD electrode resistor formed between the drain and the collection well. The collection well is operable in cooperation with a photosensitive region. The switched CCD electrode resistor includes a channel region defined in the substrate and having a first end disposed adjacent to the collection well and a second end disposed adjacent to the drain. The switched CCD electrode resistor also includes a first electrode insulatively spaced from and disposed over the first end and a second electrode insulatively spaced from and disposed over the second end.
