1. An apparatus including:
an array of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) antennas;
an array of geometric diodes, wherein the MWCNT antennas are connected between interdigitated ground lines and negative voltage lines through the array of geometric diodes;
a low-k dielectric insulator deposited on the MWCNTs; and
a high-k dielectric insulator deposited on top of the low-k dielectric insulator.
