Abstract
Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) diodes used for infrared detection and frequency mixing since many decades and their development for energy harvesting applications in rectenna solar cell has accelerated a decade ago. In the horizon of these applications less complex fabrication methodology,
accurate simulation methods and optimum material combination are required. Ultra-fast response of MIM diodes makes them a potential candidate for solar energy harvesting applications. Here in this work, the design and fabrication issues of MIM diode from simulation methodology based on insulating
thickness properties to the fabrication methodology are discussed. MIM diode for Al–Al2O3–Ag combination is fabricated and characteristics such as I(V), asymmetry and non-linearity are reported.
