Research abstract
The Phase I SBIR program has successfully responded to a critical need in the MEMS community -- demonstration of a means to fabricate a fully integral micro power supply, where an energy scavenger (e.g., photovoltaics or RF device), energy storage device(battery, super capacitor, etc), and control circuitry (fuzzy logic-based, as proposed here) can all be fabricated in a single manufacturing operation on the same chip. This in situ integration of all the functionalities is unique to our Phase Ifeasibility demonstration. US Nanocorp, Villanova University and Bipolar Technologies Corp. have teamed to develop a
