Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a compact line sensor, which operates at high speed and is fitted to a facsimile, etc., by arranging a large number of thin-film light-receiving elements applying bias to a light-receiving section and thin-film transistors, drains or sources thereof are grounded, in one dimensions as one picture elements. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of light-receiving element rows D201, D202, D232 consisting of amorphous hydrogenated Si are connected among common electrode side switches C201, C264 and discrete electrode side switches S201, S202, S232 in two pairs. Bias is applied to light-receiving sections for these elements through two pairs of resistors consisting of bias resistors R201, R202, R232, and voltage distributed by these resistors is applied to each gate section of two pairs of FETs of FET elements T201, T202, T232 composed of hydrogenated amorphous Si thin-film transistors positioned at the rear steps of the light-receiving elements. Accordingly, the changes of potential generated by the projection of beams are read as outputs through a load resistor L2 on the drain or source sides of each transistor.

By using a material with a large change in photocurrent, the light resistance of the photodetector is small (approximately 1.2MΩ at 100A!x illumination), the external switching circuit can be easily configured, and the element electrode It has the advantage of being compact and inexpensive by using matrix-connected multilayer wiring with a large stray capacitance between them. However, in the photoresponse, when CdSSe is used, 5 m, 8ec/l i'ne (however, 1
It is said that the reading speed of 728 elements and 8 elements is the limit, and for this reason, amorphous Se-Te with fast photoresponse is used.
-As, hydrogenated amorphous silicon (hereinafter a-8i:
Write it as H. ) as a light-receiving element has been attempted. Many of these have diode characteristics, and many attempts have been made to accumulate photocurrent in a capacitor and read out the accumulated charge using a switching element, etc.
The results of the above-mentioned number of elements have been obtained. However, although these charge storage type sensors have improved sensitivity, their high resistance circuits allow noise from external switching to enter through stray capacitance, requiring circuit processing to remove noise and switching each element one by one. Since it requires an element, it is difficult to implement. Further, in increasing the speed to 2 m Bec/line or more, problems arise such as a decrease in the integration time and a decrease in the S/N ratio due to an increase in switching noise due to the increase in frequency.

However, COD arrays multiple chips to create a one-dimensional sensor, and there are limits to optical adjustment and compactness of the @ placement, so a close-contact, high-speed sensor using a thin film has been desired.
