Abstract

A carbon based material, an optical rectenna and a semiconductor device including the same are provided. The carbon based material includes a carbon nanomaterial and a metal material bonded to the carbon nanomaterial, where the carbon nanomaterial includes a fluorine material.

Claims (33)

1. A carbon based material for an optical rectenna device, the carbon based material comprising:

a carbon nanomaterial and a metal material directly bonded to the carbon nanomaterial,

wherein the carbon nanomaterial includes a carbon nanotube (CNT),

wherein the CNT includes:

a metallic CNT part, and

a fluorinated CNT part disposed between the metallic CNT part and the metal material, wherein the metallic CNT part, the fluorinated CNT part, and the metal material form a metallic CNT-insulator-metal diode,

wherein the CNT comprises an open-tip CNT,

wherein the fluorinated CNT part comprises an end region of the open-tip CNT chemically doped with a fluorine material, and

wherein the metal material includes a surface facing the CNT and the CNT is vertically aligned and perpendicular to the surface of the metal material.

2. The carbon based material of claim 1 , wherein the CNT includes a single-walled CNT.

3. The carbon based material of claim 1 , wherein the CNT includes a double-walled CNT.

4. The carbon based material of claim 1 , wherein the CNT includes a multi-walled CNT.

5. The carbon based material of claim 1 , wherein at least one carbon ring of the carbon nanomaterial is fluorinated with the fluorine material.

6. The carbon based material of claim 1 , wherein the metal material includes a transition metal.

7. The carbon based material of claim 6 , wherein the transition metal is silver.

8. An optical rectenna comprising:

a metallic CNT-insulator-metal diode including:

a carbon nanomaterial and a metal material directly bonded to the carbon nanomaterial,

wherein the carbon nanomaterial includes a carbon nanotube (CNT),

wherein the CNT includes:

a metallic CNT part; and

a fluorinated CNT part disposed between the metallic CNT part and the metal material, wherein the metallic CNT part, the fluorinated CNT part, and the metal material form the metallic CNT-insulator-metal diode,

wherein the CNT comprises an open-tip CNT, and

wherein the fluorinated CNT part comprises an end region of the open-tip CNT chemically doped with a fluorine material, and

wherein the metal material includes a surface facing the CNT and the CNT is vertically aligned and perpendicular to the surface of the metal material.

9. The optical rectenna of claim 8 , wherein the CNT is selected from the group consisting of a single-walled CNT, a double-walled CNT, a multi-walled CNT, and combinations thereof.

10. The optical rectenna of claim 8 , wherein at least one carbon ring of the carbon nanomaterial is fluorinated with the fluorine material.

11. The optical rectenna of claim 8 , wherein the metal material includes a transition metal.

12. The optical rectenna of claim 11 , wherein the transition metal is silver.

13. A partially fluorinated CNT rectenna device comprising:

a first electrode, a second electrode, and a partially fluorinated CNT between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the partially fluorinated CNT includes the optical rectenna according to claim 8 .

14. The partially fluorinated CNT rectenna device of claim 13 , wherein the partially fluorinated CNT rectenna device is a rectenna solar cell.
