a semiconductor device which relies on the short-term storage of minority carriers in spatially defined depletion zones on its surface. The charges thus stored can be moved about by the application of control voltages via metallic conductors to the storage points, in the manner of a shift register. Single chip memories with a very large storage capacity can be made from charge-coupled devices., liik pooljuhtseadiseid, kasutatakse viitliinide, pildiandurite ja mälude ehitamiseks
