Popis: We demonstrate UV contact lithographically fabricated III–V field-effect transistors (FETs) examined over a bandwidth of 100 GHz–11.8 THz. The zero-bias device reaches a noise equivalent power as low as 250 pW/√Hz at 0.6 THz, which then increases as f^4 at higher frequencies. The responsivity is modeled by a simple equivalent circuit, showing good agreement over the frequency range of two decades. The FETs have been characterized using a photomixer, a quantum cascade laser, and a free-electron laser, proving the versatility and large applicability of the detection concept.
