Another array term from EG&G.

The photodiode linear array uses a diode structure to collect charge and
an adjacent CCD 
structure to move it out to the horizontal register for readout.
Advantages are realization of UV QE down to 200 nm as there are no gates
on the diode blocking light.  The charge collects in the diode and
spills over into the adjacent gate structure.

I have found another 'version' of array that EG&G
offers, referred to as a Monolithic photodiode.

I add this to my list of 'confusion' for types of array
detectors.
