摘要: Heterojunction interfacial work function internal photoemission (HEIWIP) detectors provide an interesting approach to the development of quantum for terahertz range. In this letter, cutoff frequency/wavelength variation HEIWIP having different Al fractions in AlGaAs/GaAs structures is experimentally verified, and a model presented designing structures. A key feature responsivity ability cover broad frequency range single detector with tailorability by adjusting fraction barrier regions. Extending response lower frequencies use AlGaAs emitters GaAs barriers also discussed.
