| Properties of microwave detectors of various design on the base of MBE grown GaAs and AlGaAs structures are discussed in this paper: simple asymmetrically shaped structures with heavily doped GaAs and AlGaAs layers of nanometric thickness as well as diodes with two-dimensional electron gas layers. Novel models of the detectors with partially gated two-dimensional electron gas layer as well as with small area GaAs/AlGaAs heterojuction are discussed to demonstrate different ways to increase the voltage sensitivity of the detectors of electromagnetic radiation in GHz-THz frequency range. |
