ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit is powered by exposing conductive regions, such as the p+ source regions of the PMOS transistors that are formed to receive a supply voltage, to light energy from a light source. The conductive regions function as photodiodes that produce voltages on the conductive regions via the photovoltaic effect.
