Semiconductor device. The invention relates to a CCD having a so-called diode cut-off input, a reference voltage being applied to the input diode and the input signal being supplied to an input gate located in front of the first clock electrode. Especially if the electrodes are composed of a transfer part and a storage part with an incorporated potential difference, it is possible that incomplete charge transport occurs from the input to the first clock electrode. In order to avoid this incomplete charge transport and/or to be able to enlarge the dynamic range of the input signal a larger clock voltage, for example 10 V is applied to, the first clock electrode than to the following clock …
