FOREWORD

Welcome to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, and to the University of Edinburgh for the 5th International Conference on Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD 79 ) . This Conference series which alternates between San Diego and Edinburgh aims to present state-of-the-art developments in CCD technology design and applications. CCD '79 will be followed by the International Specialist Seminar on 'Case Studies in Advanced Signal Processing' at the famous Peebles Hydro Hotel, some 25 miles from Edinburgh. We hope that the ready availability of both events will add further technological value to your visit to Edinburgh and allow you time to see historic Edinburgh and the beautiful Border country­side.

The CCD call for papers attracted a large response. Over 60 papers were accepted strongly indicating the flourishing and maturing nature of CCD technology since its invention 10 years ago. Numerous other silicon devices have emerged over the same period. Whilst IR and visible imaging are vitally important areas for CCD development, it is the unique capability of the CCD to combine imaging and signal processing in small space and at low power that ensures its continued support for applications engineers. Particularly noteworthy at CCD '79 is the high level of system complexity now engineered 'on-chip' for performing specific signal processing tasks. There has also been a large increase in interest in programmable filters and a boom in switched capacitor filters for communications applications since CCD '78 in San Diego. The full day on Imaging reflects again much engineering rather than emphasis on novel structures. Here, we particularly welcome the Invited Paper from Japan on "Advances in CCD Imagers: Linear and Area Arrays". The middle afternoon has been given over to Poster Session, a new feature of this Conference, where contributors will describe their findings and demonstrate their hardware at individual booths. The Conference closes with the session on high speed CCD and digital memory and logic. Here two papers wil l be presented on gallium arsenide-CCDs which promise significant speed advantages over silicon-CCDs.

These Proceedings, edited by Dr. John Mavor, comprise the papers of the five Conference Sessions, including those presented at the Poster Sessions. It is hoped that like its predecessors these Proceedings wiM provide a valuable archival source of CCD development in 1979.

CCD '79 is a truly international event. Its organisation would not have proved possible without the valued help of our International Advisers, Technical Programme Committee and the seven Invited Speakers. Special mention is due to John Mavor and Danny McCaughan, the Co-Chairmen; and to Peter Denyer, the Secretary of the Technical Programme Committee.

CCD '79 has been jointly organised by the Wolfson Microelectronics Institute and the Centre for Industrial Consultancy and Liaison of the University of Edinburgh. Acknowledgements are also due to those bodies associated with the Conference: Royal Signals and Radar Establishment, The Institute of Physics, The Institution of Radio and Electronic Engineers and The Institution of Electrical Engineers.
