Modern backside illuminated sensors made SuperCCD obsolete. The SuperCCD were made to overcome the limitations of frontside illumination issues.

As I recall, CCD had no circuitry on the front side. They used a "bucket brigade" to move the charges to the read out circuitry at the edges of the sensor. While modern sensors have enough DR to make such a design largely obsolete, I don't think BSI really enters into it.
