Mesa-structuring of InGaAs/InAlAs photoconductive layers is performed employing a chemical assisted ion beam etching (CAIBE) process. Terahertz photoconductive antennas for 1.5 microm operation are fabricated and evaluated in a time domain spectrometer. Order-of-magnitude improvements versus planar antennas are demonstrated in terms of emitter power, dark current and receiver sensitivity.
采用化学辅助离子束蚀刻(CAIBE)工艺对InGaAs/InAlAs光电导层进行台面结构化处理。制作了用于1.5微米工作的太赫兹光电导天线,并在时域光谱仪中进行了评估。在发射极功率、暗电流和接收器灵敏度方面,与平面天线相比有数量级的提升。
