Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Noise characteristics of zero-bias backward diodes for terahertz detectors were improved by using a p+-GaAs0.51Sb0.49/n-In0.53Ga0.47As heterojunction structure. Junction resistance was successfully decreased by removing an i-In0.52Al0.48As barrier layer from a conventional p+-GaAs0.51Sb0.49/i-In0.52Al0.48As/n-In0.53Ga0.47As structure. Although sensitivity indicated slight decrease, noise equivalent power (NEP) was drastically improved from 303 to 64 pW/Hz1/2 at 300 GHz
