In this paper we will present our latest research results of integrated quantum dot Schottky diodes and integrated silicon antenna for RF applications. Both, the quantum dot Schottky diodes and the antenna are integrated on Si substrates forming a simple mm-wave detection system, the rectifying antenna (RECTENNA). Within this work a specific antenna design, 1-dimensional array (single line antenna), will be shown. First S-parameter measurement results up to 110 GHz are very promising for system application in the 80 GHz automotive radar frequency band.
