Abstract
We report the development of a microscale photovoltaic energy converter which has been designed and implemented to deliver power to CMOS-based microelectronic chips. The design targets the delivery of voltages on the order of 3V with power levels in excess of 10 mW. The geometry of the prototype device, which has been fabricated and tested, is specifically designed for coupling to an optical fiber, to facilitate remote power delivery in implantable component environment.
