A Semiconductor Image Sensor for Television
Research has led to the development of a Semiconductor IMage Sensor (SCIMS) to replace the tube-type pickup devices currently used in television. Due to the need for scanning and focusing coils with pickup tubes, the ability to reduce the size and weight of television cameras is severely restricted. With the development of a totally solid-state camera these restrictions could be overcome. The development of SCIMS is described. Methods and techniques used for construction, reasons for using such methods and the results obtained are discussed. An evaluation of the results is given and areas where changes in techniques could effect improvements are pointed out.
