The potential for sensitivity enhancement by the thermoelectric effect in carbon-nanotube and graphene Tera-FETs
Paper i proceeding, 2015

We report on terahertz (THz) measurements with graphene field-effect transistors with integrated antennas (Tera-FETs) lay special emphasis on thermoelectric contributions to the detected THz photoresponse. Graphene Tera-FETs with integrated broad-band bow-tie antennas were fabricated in a CVD-based growth process and were successfully applied for detection at 600 GHz with optical NEPs down to 515 pW/Hz^1/2. While rectification of THz radiation by (distributed) resistive mixing of charge-density waves induced in the gated transistor channel region is well known, significant additional contributions to the detected signal have experimentally been observed and hot-carrier thermoelectric effects have been identified as a possible origin of these signals. We also observe similar signal contributions in carbonnanotube transistors.
