Trade-off Study between Cutoff Frequency and Responsivity of SOI CMOS-based Terahertz Antenna-Coupled Bolometers with Different Temperature Sensors: MOSFET, PN-Junction Diode, Resistor and Thermocouple

Abstract

An antenna-coupled bolometer is a viable approach to detect terahertz (THz) waves since it can operate at room temperature unlike photon detectors and its performance can be maintained in higher THz range where ordinary electron devices get degraded [1].
