Modeling and optimization method for thermal THz sensing with MOS transistors

View publication

Abstract

In the pursuit of an uncooled THz sensor, we address the specific modeling and optimization method for micro-machined transistors for the implementation of antenna-coupled MOSFET bolometers. We discuss the degrees of freedom for maximizing the device's SNR, outlining also the trade-offs in relation to the requirements of an integrated read-out circuit. The methodology was applied to novel antenna-coupled THz sensors manufactured in a 0.18-μm SOI CMOS process. The theoretical results are supported by the measurements of these devices.
