Abstract We developed a novel terahertz-wave detector fabricated on a SiC platform implementing an InP/InGaAs Fermi-level managed barrier (FMB) diode. The FMB diode epi-layers were transferred on a SiC substrate, and a waveguide coupler and filters were monolithically integrated with an FMB diode. Then, fabricated detector chip was assembled in a fundamental mixer module with a WR-3 rectangular-waveguide input port. It exhibited a minimum noise equivalent power as low as 3e-19 W/Hz at around 300 GHz for a local oscillator power of only 30 microwatts.
