Through analytical derivation, the influence of device dimensions and of current–voltage curvature on voltage responsivity and noise equivalent power (NEP) is explored, and theoretical expressions for diode sensitivity are derived. On-wafer measurements of two scaled TB-RTDs with top contact areas of 0.5 and \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$1 ,mu mathrm{m}^{2}$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 are conducted, followed by a comparative analysis, including harmonic-balance simulation results based on a self-developed TB-RTD nonlinear model. The measurements reveal that the responsivity scales with device area, as predicted by the theory, with a peak responsivity of 2123V/W at 340 GHz for the TB-RTD, and above 1200V/W across the entire WR2 band (330–500 GHz) for the smaller \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$0.5 ,mu mathrm{m}^{2}$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 area device.

The investigation offers a clear picture of the intrinsic performance of TB-RTD operating at zero bias, with a detailed overview of the on-wafer measurement setup, power characterization method, and detector figures of merit, highlighting the potential of TB-RTDs as compact, power-efficient, and ultrasensitive direct THz detectors.","PeriodicalId":13258,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"107-119"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10766652","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The horn features 45° inclined corrugation stubs that allow the building of the component with its axis vertical without any internal support structures. This ensures circular symmetry of the horn and high cross-polarization discrimination and circumvents radiation performance degradation, typical of tilted printing. Departing from traditional designs, the horn also incorporates a rectangular-to-circular waveguide adapter, not only enhancing compactness but also avoiding errors and losses associated with assembly. The stainless-steel antenna was plated with gold. The prototype, measuring 10.8 mm × 10.8 mm × 29.7 mm, exhibits outstanding performance with a peak gain from 18 to 22 dBi, and >36 dB cross-polar discrimination over the frequency band of 145–225 GHz.
