    The rapid growth of wireless technology has improved the network’s technology from 4G to 5G, with sub-6 GHz being the centre of attention as the primary communication spectrum band. To effectively benefit this exclusive network, the improvement in the mm-wave detection of this range is crucial. In this work, a silicon self-switching device (SSD) based full-wave bridge rectifier was proposed as a candidate for a usable RF-DC converter in this frequency range. SSD has a similar operation to a conventional pn junction diode, but with advantages in fabrication simplicity where it does not require doping and junctions. The optimized structure of the SSD was cascaded and arranged to create a functional full-wave bridge rectifier with a quadratic relationship between the input voltage and outputs current. AC transient analysis and theoretical calculation performed on the full-wave rectifier shows an estimated cut-off frequency at ~12 GHz, with calculated responsivity and noise equivalent power of 1956.72 V/W and 2.3753 pW/Hz1/2, respectively. These results show the capability of silicon SSD to function as a full-wave bridge rectifier and is a potential candidate for RF-DC conversion in the targeted 5G frequency band and can be exploited for future energy harvesting application.

    In this study, a hybrid statistical analysis (Taguchi method supported by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis) and numerical analysis (utilizing a Silvaco device simulator) was implemented to optimize the structural parameters of silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based self-switching diodes (SSDs) to achieve a high responsivity value as a radio frequency (RF) detector. Statistical calculation was applied to study the relationship between the control factors and the output performance of an RF detector in terms of the peak curvature coefficient value and its corresponding bias voltage. Subsequently, a series of numerical simulations were performed based on Taguchi’s experimental design. The optimization results indicated an optimized curvature coefficient and voltage peak of 26.4260 V−1 and 0.05 V, respectively. The alternating current transient analysis from 3 to 10 GHz showed the highest mean current at 5 GHz and a cut-off frequency of approximately 6.50 GHz, indicating a prominent ability to function as an RF detector at 5G related frequencies.

    Investigation of SOI based self-switching diode (SSD) by numerical simulation for RF -DC harvesting application is presented. The rectification performance of the SSD is based on the curvature coefficient, ? and current responsivity, ß which are closely related to the I-V characteristic of a non-linear device. In this work, the structural parameters are varied to observe the electrical and physical characteristics with the aid of ATLAS Silvaco simulation tools. The rectification performance in each variation is then compared, with the highest value of ? and ß observed at 25.20 V and 12.60 V, respectively. By identifying and understanding these control factors and their effects, distinctive variations of the structural parameters by using a more deliberate optimization method can be proposed for further improvement on the rectification performance.

    Logic gates are the main components inside the integrated circuit used for almost every technological application. Nowadays, in order to enhance the performance of the smart device, while targeting in cut down of the fabrication cost and achieve low power consumption, lithography-based VLSI design technology on silicon are still being widely applied. Hence, an OR gate structure, a silicon based self-switching device (SSD) is introduced and investigated in this project. Such device is believed capable to act as an alternative for a low-powered logic gate application, suitable for CMOS devices. The SSD has an advantage in term of simplicity in fabrication process with a very low threshold voltage. Since SSD characteristics is similar to a conventional diode characteristic, the gate is designed in ATLAS Silvaco device simulator based on a diode logic to perform OR logic function after a validation of the physical and materials parameters. The electrical characterization and structural analysis were also done to observe the electrical performance and physical condition in the device. The simulated design showed a good OR logic output response with the inputs, and acceptable output ranged from around 4.5 to 4.8 V with 5 V HIGH inputs. The results from this OR gate characterization may assist in developing the logic gate for device integration and may act as a reference for future complex integrated circuit design.
