Abstract

Document width linear image sensor arouse strong and wide interest as a compact image reading component for facsimile and other document readers. Among those, a-Si:H is excellent in stability and light sensitivity. The photosensing element of those sensors have a sandwich-like structure which consist of Cr/i-a-Si:H/ITO. In this structure, i-a-Si:H/ITO shows good shottky contact resulting high photo to dark current ratio and fast photoresponse. We have been developing linear image sensor of A4 and B4 size with resolutions of 8dot/mm and l6dot/mm and had applied successfully to facsimile and image input terminals.
