LID - 10.3390/nano13040632 [doi] LID - 632 AB - GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) terahertz (THz) detectors have been widely studied and applied in the past few decades. However, there are few reports about the influence of GaN/AlGaN heterostructure material properties on the detection model at present. In this paper, a response voltage model for a GaN HEMT THz detector that considers the carrier scattering in a GaN/AlGaN heterostructure is proposed. The phonon scattering, dislocation scattering, and interface roughness scattering mechanisms are taken into account in the classic THz response voltage model; furthermore, the influence of various material parameters on the response voltage is studied. In a low-temperature region, acoustic scattering plays an important role, and the response voltage drops with an increase in temperature. In a high temperature range, optical phonon scattering is the main scattering mechanism, and the detector operates in a non-resonant detection mode. With an increase in carrier surface density, the response voltage decreases and then increases due to piezoelectric scattering and optical phonon scattering. For dislocation and interface roughness scattering, the response voltage is inversely proportional to the dislocation density and root mean square roughness (RMS) but is positively related to lateral correlation length. Finally, a comparison between our model and the reported models shows that our proposed model is more accurate.
