In this work, a new detection method for Terahertz (THz) radiation in a MOSFET transistor based on Thermionic Emission (TE) has been demonstrated. TE detection using CMOS processes offer advantages over microbolometers . A photo-voltaic readout mode for THz detectors is described along with a methodology for measuring responsivity.
