Abstract
In this paper we present a test chip in standard CMOS 0.35 um with different photovoltaic structures. In particular we realized several integrated micro solar cell to characterize an harvesting supply system thus to implement a power efficiency optimization technique based on the active area geometry. The photodiodes can be used as stand alone supply solar cells as well as an integrated harvester for micro-systems realized on the same silicon.
