Abstract

In order to make room-temperature terahertz (THz) detectors with high-detectivity, we have studied room-temperature THz antenna-coupled bolometers with titanium (Ti) meander-line thermistor fabricated on a high-resistivity silicon (Si) substrate by MEMS process. In this paper, we report the spectrum of responsivity which spreads at least in the range of 0.1 THz width around 1 THz. There are high-responsivity bands with the orders of 1000 V/W in the spectrum. Thanks to the meander-line and low noise of metal thermistors, we have achieved good noise-equivalent power (NEP) of the order of 10-11 W/Hz1/2 and response speed of 5 kHz for the room-temperature antenna-coupled bolometers with a Ti thermistor 0.1~ mu text{m}-wide and 90 mu text{m}-long.
