Abstract
A rectifying antenna device is disclosed. The device comprises a pair of electrode structures, and at least one nanostructure diode contacting at least a first electrode structure of the pair and being at least in proximity to a second electrode structure of the pair. At least one electrode structure of the pair receives AC radiation, and the nanostructure diode(s) at least partially rectifies a current generated by the AC radiation.
Claims24
A rectifying antenna device, comprising:
- a pair of electrode structures, and
- at least one elongated nanostructure diode, deposited generally parallel to said pair of electrode structures such that said at least one elongated nanostructure contacts at least a first electrode structure of said pair and being at least in proximity to a second electrode structure of said pair;
- wherein at least one electrode structure of said pair receives AC radiation, and said at least one nanostructure diode at least partially rectifies a current generated by said AC radiation.
A method of manufacturing a rectifying antenna device, comprising:
- depositioning a first electrode structure on a substrate;
- depositioning a second electrode structure on said substrate, so as to form a pair of electrode structures being at least partially exposed and devoid of contact thereamongst;
- and
- depositioning at least one elongated nanostructure on an exposed part of at least one of said pair and generally parallel to said pair, so as to form at least one nanostructure diode contacting at least a first electrode structure of said pair and being at least in proximity to a second electrode structure of said pair.
