Abstract

We present InP-based Triple Barrier Resonant Tunneling Diodes monolithically integrated with an on-wafer resonant or broad band antenna. Biasing these diodes in the negative differential resistance regime provides a fundamental mode oscillation of preliminary 90 μW at f₀ = 260 GHz. At 280 GHz an estimated high zero-bias resonant responsivity of 50.000 V/W is modeled. A broad band average responsivity of 900 V·W^-1 was determined in the frequency range from 230 … 330 GHz along with a minimum Noise Equivalent Power of 1 pW·Hz^-0.5. This concept is expected to provide very high sensitivities at frequencies up to f ≥ 1 THz.
