20 μm gate width CVD graphene FETs for 0.6 THz detection

We have fabricated 20 μm gate width graphene field effect transistors (GFETs) based on graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). These GFETs are integrated with split bow-tie antennae for room temperature, direct detection of a 0.6 THz signal. Our detectors reach a maximum optical responsivity of 3.0 V/W and a minimum noise-equivalent power (NEP) of 700 pW/Hz^0.5. The successful demonstration of THz detection using CVD graphene introduces the possibility for scalable detector production.
