Uncooled CMOS fully integrated antenna-coupled terahertz thermal detector
[摘要] In this Letter, an uncooled monolithic resonant terahertz (THz) thermal detector using a standard 55 nm CMOS technology is presented. The detector is constructed by the integration of a loop antenna loaded with a polysilicon resistor and a proportional to absolute temperature sensor, which is used as a temperature-sensitive device. An overview of the design considerations, as well as the comparatively better characterisation results are demonstrated in detail. A high-temperature coefficient of voltage (TCV D ) of 10.11 mV/°C, a maximum responsivity of 48.67 V/W, and a minimum noise equivalent power of 1.22 μW/Hz 0.5 for the thermal detector are measured at the optimal operating point of 2.58 THz.
