Abstract Virtually complete charge transfer can be achieved with charge coupleddevices(CCDs)intheburiedchannelconfigurationbecausetheburiedchannelCCDintroduces no transfer noise. However, conventional charge detectors incorporatedinto CCDs have a comparably large noise, which consists of thermal noise and 1/fnoisefromMOS transistorin theoutputchargedetectors.
