Abstract

A sub-terahertz photodetector based on the narrow-gap semiconductor In0.53Ga0.47As is designed, fabricated, and characterized. The detector exhibits a responsivity up to 515 V/W, a noise equivalent power lower than 20 pW/Hz0.5, a detectivity up to 7.2 × 108 cm•Hz0.5/W, and a response time of 4.1 μs in the sub-terahertz waveband for room-temperature operation. The achieved excellent performance, together with a relatively large detector feature size, simple structure, and easy manufacturing, provide a promising approach to the development of sensitive terahertz room-temperature detectors.
