CA 2739598

A high speed and miniature detection system, especially for electromagnetic radiation in the GHz and THz range comprises a semiconductor structure having a 2D charge carrier layer or a quasi 2D charge carrier layer with incorporated single or multiple defects, at least first and second contacts to the charge carrier layer, and a device for measuring photovoltage between the first and second contacts. System operation in various embodiments relies on resonant excitation of plasma waves in the semiconductor structure.

L'invention concerne un système de détection miniature et grande vitesse, notamment de détection d'un rayonnement électromagnétique de l'ordre des GHz et des THz, qui comprend une structure semi-conductrice présentant une couche de porteurs de charge 2D ou une couche de porteurs de charge quasiment 2D incorporant des défauts isolés ou multiples et comprenant au moins un premier et un second contact, et qui comprend un dispositif de mesure de la phototension entre le premier et le second contact. Le fonctionnement du système dans divers modes de réalisation repose sur l'excitation résonnante d'ondes plasma dans la structure semi-conductrice.
