The nanowhiskers were integrated into the coplanar striplines for device testing using DC and time-resolved electro-optic characterization techniques. Our photodetectors exhibit a very low dark current below 500 pA at 10 V bias as well as a high responsivity of 0.19 A/W at 30 V, and a cut-off frequency of 1.3 THz. These characteristics make the GaAs nanowhisker photodetectors very promising candidates for high-speed optoelectronics and efficient THz emitters.","PeriodicalId":426709,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Mircosystems","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115824320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key advantage of this process is its capability of fabricating nano-scaled structures by using optical lithography with high throughput at very low temperature. The large gate shrinkage (>;0.70μm) from the original 1-μm foot print by solvent reflow, coupled with the fabrication of mushroom gate structures, yields a very high performance 250-nm T-gate device. For a 2×50μm device and with a 3μm drain-source distance, the maximum GM and IDS are 940mS/mm and 580mA/mm respectively and its associated cut-off frequency is 90 GHz.","PeriodicalId":426709,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Mircosystems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132318535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
