Abstract: An alpha voltaic device for generating electrical power from the decay of alpha particles is provided. The device includes a substrate; an anode disposed on the substrate having an anode pad, a primary anodic electrode, and at least two branch anodic electrodes; a cathode disposed on the substrate having a cathode pad, a primary cathodic electrode, and at least two branch cathodic electrode; and an electrolytic semimetal deposited on the anode and cathode. The branch cathodic electrodes can extend toward the primary anodic electrode, and the branch anodic electrode can extend toward the primary cathodic electrode. Each of the branch anodic and branch cathodic electrodes can be interdigitated. The anode and cathode can be formed from gold (Au) and the electrolytic semimetal can be gallium (Ga). A process for manufacturing the alpha voltaic device using a photoresist mask is also provided.
