The fabrication and performance of an AIo"Gao"As/GaAs modulation-doped resistive-gate charge-coupled device is reported. The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) CCD, implemented as a 32-stage four-phase delay line, is tested at both low (1-13 MHz) and high (0.6-1.0 GHz) frequency. It exhibits a room-temperature charge-transfer efficiency (CTE) of better than 0.999 at clock frequencies from 10 MHz up to 1 GHz without a fat-zero signal, and is limited by dark current below 10 MHz. The
