Abstract(in English) We fabricated and characterized Sb-based diodes for detecting subterahertz waves. These devices were made on InAs/AlSb/Al_xGa_<1-x>Sb/GaSb heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We grew several structures by changing the Al composition, x, of Al_xGa_<1-x>Sb and the thickness, y, of the AlSb and characterized the I-V characteristics. The sensitivity, γ, of the diodes was estimated from the I-V characteristics. As a result, the maximum value of 4.4 V^<-1> was obtained in the device for x=0.15 and y=1nm, which was two times as good as that of y=2nm. In addition, the negative resistance appeared in the forward bias shifted towards low voltage side as the x value increased resulting in better rectification characteristics.
