Plasma wave resonant detection of terahertz radiations by nanometric transistors

We report on resonant terahertz detection by two-dimensional electron plasma located in nanometric InGaAs and GaN transistors. Up to now, the biggest part of the research was devoted to GaAs-based devices as the most promising from the point of view of the electron mobility. The resonant detectio...

We report on resonant terahertz detection by two-dimensional electron plasma located in nanometric InGaAs and GaN transistors. Up to now, the biggest part of the research was devoted to GaAs-based devices as the most promising from the point of view of the electron mobility. The resonant detection was reported, however, only in the sub-THz range. According to predictions of the Dyakonov–Shur plasma wave detection theory an increase of the detection frequency can be achieved by reducing the length or increase the carrier density in the gated region.We demonstrate that the 1THz limit can be overcome by using ultimately short gate InGaAs and GaN nanotransistors. For the first time the tunability of the resonant signal by the applied gate voltage is demonstrated. We show that the physical mechanism of the detection is related to the plasma waves excited in the transistor channel (Dyakonov–Shur theory). We also show that by increasing of the drain-to-source current leads to a transformation of the broadband detection to a resonant and tuneable one. We can get resonant detection at room temperature. We finally discuss the possible application of detection by nanotransistors in different types of THz spectroscopy research.
We are grateful also to Yahya Meziani, Edmundas Sirmulis, and Zigmas Martunas for their kind assistance during the experiments and enlightening discussions. The work of Montpellier group and collaboration with Vilnius group were supported by CNRS–GDR project «Semiconductor sources and detectors of THz frequencies», region of Languedoc Rousillon and French Ministry of Research and New Technologies through the ACI grant NR0091. The collaboration between Montpellier and Vilnius is supported by the projects PRAMA via the programme «Centres of Excellence». The research conducted at Vilnius was performed under the topic «Study of semiconductor nanostructures for terahertz technologies» (No.144.1). The collaboration between Montpellier and Nizhny Novgorod is supported by RFBR (grants 05-02-17374, 05-02-22001) and CNRS.
