Device characteristics of antenna-coupled metal-insulator-metal diodes (rectenna) using Al_2O_3, TiO_2 and Cr_2O_3 as insulator layer for energy harvesting applications

摘要

Antenna-coupled metal-insulator-metal devices are most potent candidate for future energy harvesting devices. The reason for that they are ultra-high speed devices that can rectify the electromagnetic radiation at high frequencies. In addition to their speed, they are also small devices that can have more number of devices in unit area. In this work, it is aimed design and develop a device which can harvest and detect IR radiation.
