▎ 摘  要

Graphene shows strong promise for the detection of terahertz (THz) radiation due to its high carrier mobility, compatibility with on-chip waveguides and transistors, and small heat capacitance. At the same time, weak reaction of graphene's physical properties on the detected radiation can be traced down to the absence of a band gap. Here, we study the effect of electrically induced band gap on THz detection in graphene bilayer with split-gate p-n junction. We show that gap induction leads to a simultaneous increase in current and voltage responsivities. At operating temperatures of similar to 25 K, the responsivity at a 20 meV band gap is from 3 to 20 times larger than that in the gapless state. The maximum voltage responsivity of our devices at 0.13 THz illumination exceeds 50 kV/W, while the noise equivalent power falls down to 36 fW/Hz1/2.
