Predicted Vdc for THz chip

I was just looking at the V-I graph of Charles M. Brown's 1T7 THz diode chip that shows Rz at only 2 Mohms. The 1T7 chip consists of 10000 diodes in direct parallel connection. According to my calculation, the properly loaded 1T7 chip would produce only 2e+6 ohms * 10 pA = 20 uV (0.02 mV) DC. What is very interesting is that Tom Schum showed the 1T7 chip at producing 15 uV, which is very close to the predicted 20 uV.

Note this is not the predicted peak DC voltage that the diode can produce, but it is the predicted *loaded & stabilized* DC voltage. The loaded and stabilized DC voltage is taken from many observed measurements from various diodes. For example, the predicted DC voltage from my 40 in-series SMS7630 diode array is 5500 ohms * 10 pA * 40 = 2.2 uV DC. On countless measurements on this diode array the initial DC voltage was always a lot higher, anywhere from 5 uV to over 30 uV DC. Although, within ~ an hour of placing this diode array across a 47 uF low leakage capacitor bank over and over, the DC voltage slowly decreased until it stabilized at ~ 1.8 uV DC.

According the research, the 1T7 chip could produce over a milli volt so long as it's not loaded down for too long.

I am not expected to much DC voltage from Charles M. Brown's 1T7 diode array. If it's significantly undisturbed, then I'm expecting to at least find a measurable DC voltage on the new electrometer, which now has a gain of one, thus making the lowest measurable DC voltage 0.1 mV. CMB's chip will probably be a bit disturbed, but since it has low Rz, it will probably recover at a much faster rate than the LED's.
