Abstract:
A method for forming a unique, environmentally-friendly energy harvesting element is provided. A configuration of the energy harvesting element causes the energy harvesting element to autonomously generate renewable energy for use in electronic systems, electronic devices and electronic system components. The energy harvesting element includes a first conductor layer, a low work function layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductor layer that are particularly configured in a manner to promote electron migration from the low work function layer, through the dielectric layer, to the facing surface of the second conductor layer in a manner that develops an electric potential between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer. An energy harvesting component is also provided that includes a plurality of energy harvesting elements electrically connected to one another to increase a power output of the electric harvesting component.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for forming an energy harvesting element, comprising:\n providing a first functional layer having a facing surface with a first work function value; providing a second functional layer with a facing surface facing the facing surface of the first functional layer, the facing surface of the second functional layer having a second work function value that is greater than the first work function value; and arranging a dielectric layer in a gap between the first functional layer and the second functional layer, a thickness of the gap being in a range of 100 nm or less, the second work function value being at least 1.0 eV higher than the first work function value, and a structure of the energy harvesting element causing the energy harvesting element to generate a useable electric potential via an accumulation of electrons migrating from the first functional layer to the second functional layer.
