Abstract :

Microsystems are rapidly making their avenue into commercial applications. Power needs to be supplied to individual devices without requiring wires or physical tethering if the full potential of the micro-machines are to be realized. We develop direct DC power for micro-devices using remote radio-frequency (RF) generation as well as on-chip RF to DC microconvertor. The micro-scale antennas will supply as much as 10 mW of DC power in an area less than 20 mm x 20 mm. Optical coupling may not be required because the RF energy can be penetrated into the system without significant loss of energy through media. Fabrication of working remotely powered micro-chips is being developed. This technology may realize power convertor for individual micro-robots, micro-probes as well as wireless power distribution to multi-chips and micro-scale energy storage devices such as batteries.
