Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of terahertz detectors, in particular to a metal gate MOSFET terahertz detector based on a periodic grating gate.
Background
The terahertz wave is an electromagnetic wave between microwave and infrared light on an electromagnetic spectrum, the frequency of the terahertz wave is about 0.1-10 THz, and the wavelength corresponds to 3 mm-30 mu m. The terahertz technology is one of the leading edge and hot spot fields of current information science and technology research, and has been widely concerned by research institutions in various countries in the world in recent years. Developed countries in the United states, the Japan and the Europe successively evaluate the terahertz technology as ten major technologies for changing the future world and ten major key strategic targets for the national strut technology, and great investment is invested to tamp the international status in the terahertz field. Terahertz has a wide application prospect, and has wide technical application in the fields of astrophysics, material science, biomedicine, environmental science, spectrum and imaging technology, information science and technology and the like. The terahertz technology can remarkably improve the strength of China in the aspects of aerospace, space communication, biomedical treatment, even food detection and the like. The terahertz detector serving as a terahertz application basis is a key component for terahertz security and detection.
Due to the fact that any conductor lead brings about extremely serious parasitic effect in the terahertz frequency band, the performance of most detectors based on III-V/II-VI process is difficult to control, even the detectors do not work, and therefore the practicability of the terahertz detectors is restricted. Development of room temperature terahertz detectors based on CMOS compatible processes is the basis for realizing low-cost and large-scale popularization of terahertz detection and array imaging. However, the existing detectors based on the CMOS compatible process generally have the disadvantages of slow response speed, low sensitivity, high price, and the like, and generally need to work at low temperature, which greatly limits the integrated application and development of the terahertz technology. Therefore, the development of the CMOS compatible room temperature terahertz detector with high responsivity, high sensitivity and low price becomes a problem which needs to be solved urgently in the integration application and development process of the terahertz technology.

The grid grading-Gate of the metal grid MOSFET Q1 is connected with and loaded with a first bias voltage source Vb1 through a first bias resistor Rb1 and used for providing direct current power supply for the metal grid MOSFET Q1, and the THz response waveband range can be adjusted by adjusting the Grating structure parameters (the width, the length, the area, the period and the pattern form) of the grid grading-Gate of the metal grid MOSFET Q1, so that the detection sensitivity of the detector is improved. The first bias voltage source Vb1 is a fixed dc bias voltage source.
