Optically Powered Energy Source in a Standard CMOS Process for Integration in Smart Dust Applications

In order to miniaturize nano-power sensor nodes or smart dust, an optically powered energy source is developed to replace traditional batteries or solar cells. This energy source consists of two photodiodes, which are P-well/DN-well and N-well/P-sub. The two photodiodes with an area of 1.5mm2 were f...
