Abstract: The present invention is a structure for a fast-dump gate (FDG) and
a fast-dump drain (FDD) for a charge coupled device. It is envisioned that the
charge coupled device be a horizontal readout register of a solid-state image
sensor. This structure uses a third layer of polysilicon (or other suitable gate
material) to form the fast-dump gate which is in addition to the other two layers of
gate material used to form the gates in the horizontal readout register. This allows
the channel region under the fast-dump gate (FDG) to form without the use of
highly-doped channel stop regions thereby eliminating any potential wells or
barriers that may result in transfer inefficiency often time found with other
structures.
