Recently, the possibility to tune the critical current of conventional metallic superconductors via electrostatic gating was shown in wires, Josephson weak-links, and superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junctions. Here, we exploit such a technique to demonstrate a gate-controlled vanadium-based Dayem nano-bridge operated as a half-wave rectifier at 3K. Our devices exploit the gate-driven modulation of the critical current of the Josephson junction and the resulting steep variation of its normal-state resistance, to convert an AC signal applied to the gate electrode into a DC one across the junction. All-metallic superconducting gated rectifiers could provide the enabling technology to realize tunable photon detectors and diodes useful for superconducting electronics circuitry.
