Charge injection devices

CID (1) Collision-induced dissociation (2) Charged-injection device... 

A charge injection device (CID) is very similar to a CCD as it consists also in a 2D grid of pixels on a semiconductor substrate. The main difference between the devices is that the readout process in a CID is a nondestructive readout... 

Charge injection device (CID) and charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors can be used to monitor large portions of the spectrum in multiple orders by taking an electronic photograph. They are analogous to photographic plates which were used in the earliest spectrometers. A typical... 

Color Plate 24 Polychromator for Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer with One Detector for All Elements (Section 21-4) Light emitted by a sample in the plasma enters the polychromator at the upper right and is dispersed vertically by a prism and then horizontally by a grating. The resulting two-dimensional pattern of wavelengths from 165 to 1 000 nm is detected by a charge injection device detector with 262 000 pixels. All elements are detected simultaneously.

A charge injection device (CID) imager [1,2] comprises an array of horizontal row lines and output column lines. Each row line is connected to row-MIS electrodes. Each MIS in a given row can interchange charge with only one column MIS well with each of the column MIS wells in a row being attached to a different column output line.
