Patent ID: 8891264

Claim:
A rectifier circuit, comprising: a substrate comprising a member selected from the group consisting of a silicon wafer, a glass plate, a ceramic plate or disc, a plastic sheet or disc, metal foil, a metal sheet or disc, and laminated or layered combinations thereof; first and second diode-wired thin film metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors (TFTs) in series, each diode-wired TFT having a channel in a patterned semiconductor body on the substrate, and each diode-wired TFT comprising a gate oxide layer on the patterned semiconductor body, and a gate on the gate oxide layer, the gate oxide layer of each diode-wired TFT having a same target thickness, the first diode-wired TFT receiving an alternating current and providing a first output, and the second diode-wired TFT receiving said first output and providing a rectified output, the first and second diode-wired TFTs configured to divide a first voltage differential across the rectifier circuit; and third and fourth diode-wired TFTs in series, each of the third and fourth diode-wired TFTs having a channel in a corresponding patterned semiconductor body on the substrate, a gate oxide on the corresponding patterned semiconductor body structurally similar to the gate oxide of the first and second diode-wired TFTs, the third diode-wired TFT receiving a complementary alternating current and providing a second output, the fourth diode-wired TFT receiving said second output and having an output connected to the rectified output, the third and fourth diode-wired TFTs configured to divide a second voltage differential across the rectifier circuit.
