Outline of Final Research Achievements

To develop the mid-infrared rectenna, the mid-infrared microstrip line and the distributed Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) tunnel diode were studied. First, a micro-fabrication process of a metal thin film using an electron beam lithography system was developed to fabricate microstrip resonators. By the evaluation of the resonators using a spectrometer, the phase velocity of the mid-infrared microstrip line was estimated. Further the MIM diodes were fabricated, and the non-linear characteristics of the diodes were observed.
