Abstract
A semiconductor structure may be located over a substrate, and may include a parallel connection of a first component and a second component. The first component includes a series connection of a diode and a capacitor that is selected from a metal-ferroelectric-metal capacitor and a metal-antiferroelectric-metal capacitor. The second component includes a battery structure. The semiconductor structure may be used as a combination of an energy harvesting device and an energy storage structure that utilizes heat from adjacent semiconductor devices or from other heat sources.
