Study on Mechanism and Process of Micro/Nano Optical-Controlled Vacuum Transistor Terahertz Radiation Sources
摘要
Abstract
As core components of terahertz(THz)technology application systems,the miniaturized high-pow-er terahertz radiation sources demonstrate broad application prospects in numerous military and civilian fields,in-cluding radar detection and security inspection imaging.A novel micro/nano optical-controlled vacuum transistor terahertz radiation source is introduced,which integrates the technical advantages of vacuum electronics,semicon-ductor electronics and optoelectronics,exhibiting unique merits in achieving high-power continuous-wave(CW)ra-diation across an ultra-broadband spectrum.The operating mechanism of this novel terahertz device is elucidated.To address critical technical challenges in high-precision micro/nano fabrication,exploratory research is conducted on the fabrication processes of its core components.By employing MEMS micro/nano fabrication techniques,inclu-ding ultraviolet(UV)lithography,electron-beam evaporation,and plasma etching,the miniaturized terahertz anten-na and vacuum channel arrays are successfully fabricated.The processing error of the antenna is within±0.664 μm.The measured reflection coefficient and input impedance show good agreement with the simulation results.The re-flection coefficient|S11|remains below-10 dB across the frequency range of 36.3~100 GHz.The measured etch-ing depth of the vacuum channel is consistent with the designed value of 5 μm.The experimental results verify the feasibility of the process and lay the foundation for the overall processing of terahertz radiation sources.The micro/nano optical controlled transistor terahertz radiation sources not only provide a promising new technological path,but also have the potential to become miniaturized high-power terahertz radiation sources.关键词
