The largest CCD's I have seen advertised, are the idustrial (spy sattelite etc)
ones from
Fairchild. 84Mpixel. and 8*8cm. see
http://www.fairchildimaging.com/main/documents/ccd595.pdf
Interestingly they claim 100% pixel fill factor, this seems unlikely, unless
they stack the
electronics vertically and even then you need metalization for power??
With such a huge analog chip the yield must be low so only the
government/military etc can
probably afford these. For discussion of CCD's for more varied applications,
other than consumer
cameras see : http://www.not.iac.es/CCD-world/archive/
The likely long readout time, probably means it could only be used in a studio
application. It
would also require a a rotating color filter etc as it does not have any on
chip color filters.
