Fig. 5

Antenna is modelled as an equivalent voltage source Vant that generates ac current ITHz (red arrows) flowing into the source and escaping the FET channel through the gate capacitance. Rectification occurs mainly at the tunnel barrier between source and channel (see band alignment profile in the inset) with voltage-dependent conductance GS. The doping level and the band gap size is controlled via a simultaneous action of the top and bottom gate voltages, Vtg and Vtg, respectively. The photovoltage, Vph, is read out between the source and drain terminals.
