What is a CID? Charge Injection Device (CID) cameras have been in use since the early 1970s, but it has only been in the last several years that knowledge and experience have combined for a broader understanding of the technology and how to more fully apply it. 自从 20 世纪 70 年代 CID 电荷注入式设备检测器就已经被使用，但只是最近几年对其技术才有 了更明确的理解以及怎样更全面的应用他的经验。 The CID concept was originated by scientists at General Electric Company working to devise a semiconductor memory chip. Exploiting the photosensitive characteristics of silicon, they developed a simple X,Y addressable array of photosensitive capacitor elements, and evolved the first CID camera in 1972. Development efforts continued through the 70s and 80s resulting in the generation of some 30 patents describing the basic structure and readout techniques presently employed. CIDTEC was established when management took the business private through a leveraged buyout in July of 1987. CID 的概念最早是由通用电气公司设计半导体芯片的科学家们发明。采用 Si 的感光性特征，他 们开发了一种简单的感光电容原理的 X、Y（平面的）可设定地址的阵列，进而在 1972 年开发 了第一个 CID 的相机。70 年代和 80 年代不停的努力最终发明了现在采用的基本结构和读书技 术的 30 多个专利。1987 年 7 月通过杠杆买卖建立了 CIDTEC 这个公司。 Every pixel in a CID array can be individually addressed via electrical indexing of row and column electrodes. Unlike Charge Coupled Device (CCD) cameras which transfer collected charge out of the pixel during readout (and hence erase the image stored on the sensor), charge does not transfer from site to site in the CID array. Instead, a displacement current proportional to the stored signal charge is read when charge packets are shifted between capacitors within individually selected pixels. The displacement current is amplified, converted to a voltage, and fed to the outside world as part of a composite video signal or digitized signal. Readout is non-destructive because the charge remains inta
