Abstract
Semiconductor memories have been used on a large scale in data processing as random access memories (RAMs) of many types and sizes and for a large range of speeds for a number of years now. They have nearly completely taken the place of magnetic core memories. The availability of devices with ever larger storage capacities brings us correspondingly nearer to the long-discussed goal of also employing semiconductor memories in those applications which were previously reserved for smaller serial magnetic memories, such as drums and fixed-head disks. The most likely contenders in this respect are charge-coupled device memories (CCD memories). It is the intent of this study to deal with the principles, characteristics and potential applications of the CCD memories.
