摘要: A theoretical analysis of the metal‐oxide‐metal (MOM) antenna/diode as a detector microwave and infrared radiation is presented with experimental verification conducted in far infrared. It shown that detectivity at room temperature can be high 1010 W−1 Hz1/2 frequencies 1014 Hz As result, design guidelines are obtained for lithographic fabrication thin‐film MOM structures to operate 10‐μ region spectrum.
