Bias Tunable and High Temperature Characteristics in Ratchet Detector

The ratchet effect has promising applications in radiation detection. We propose a ratchet structure that can achieve broadband terahertz (THz) detection. In this paper, we focus on the bias-tunable characteristics of the ratchet structure and its high-temperature operating characteristics. We give the photocurrent spectrum response characteristics of the device under different bias voltages and analyze the reasons for the bias-dependent characteristics. The response photocurrent results of the device to the blackbody under different bias voltages are also analyzed. The high operating temperature characteristics of the device under zero bias are also given.
