We show that photoconductive antennas fabricated on proton-bombarded InP (InP:H+) substrates with a proton dosage of 1x10(15) ions/cm(2) are promising for THz detection.

Photoconductive ( PC) antennas fabricated on InP bombarded with 180 keV protons of different dosages (InP:H+) all exhibit a useful bandwidth of about 30 THz, comparable to that of the LT-GaAs PC antenna. The peak signal current of the best InP: H+ device (dosage of 10(15) ions/cm(2)) is slightly higher than that of the LT-GaAs one, while the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the former is about half of that of the latter due to lower resistivity. This suggests that InP: H+ can be a good substrate for THz PC antennas with proper annealing and/or implantation recipe. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
