I think its perfectly acceptable to hijack the CCD TLA to also encompass CMOS with a slight modification. The D is valid as they are obviously both devices. The initial C is also valid as they both store a Charge. Its only the middle C (Coupled) that is specific to CCDs and is a fairly vague reference to how the charge is transported to the readout circuit. CMOS on the other hand is actually a description of the substrate. Maybe calling them both "Charge Capture Devices" is not unreasonable.
