  • Abstract
    We demonstrate that a proper antenna and transistor design can provide high responsivity for Terahertz radiation and imaging capability even above the 1 THz limit with a low-cost 130 nm CMOS technology. This result opens the way to CMOS THz imagers working at high frequencies and therefore exhibiting high a spatial resolution - down to ~300 μm.
