InGaAs-based bow-tie diodes for the terahertz (THz) range are found to be well suited for development of compact THz imaging systems. To further optimize design for sensitive and broadband THz detection, one of the major challenges remains: to understand the noise origin, influence of growth conditions and role of defects for device operation. We present a detailed study of photoreflectance, low-frequency noise characteristics and THz sensitivity of InGaAs bow-tie diodes. The diodes are fabricated from InGaAs wafers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on semi-insulating InP substrate under different technological conditions. Photoreflectance spectra indicated the presence of strong built-in electric fields reaching up to 49 kV/cm. It was demonstrated that the spectral density of voltage fluctuations at room temperature was found to be proportional to 1/f, while at lower temperatures, 77–200 K, Lorentzian-type spectra dominate due to random telegraph signals caused by individual capture defects. Furthermore, varying bias voltage, we considered optimal conditions for device room temperature operation in the THz range with respect to signal-to-noise ratio. The THz detectors grown with beam equivalent pressure In/Ga ratio equal to 2.04 exhibit the minimal level of the low-frequency noise, while InGaAs layers grown with beam equivalent pressure In/Ga ratio equal to 2.06 are found to be well suited for fabrication of room temperature bow-tie THz detectors enabling sensitivity of 13 V/W and noise equivalent power (NEP) of 200 pW/√Hz at 0.6 THz due to strong built-in electric field effects.

Selective area growth (SAG) of GaN nanowires and nanowalls on Si(111) substrates with AlN and GaN buffer layers grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy was studied. For N-polar samples filling of SAG features increased with decreasing lattice mismatch between the SAG and buffer. Defects related to Al–Si eutectic formation were observed in all samples, irrespective of lattice mismatch and buffer layer polarity. Eutectic related defects in the Si surface caused voids in N-polar samples, but not in metal-polar samples. Likewise, inversion domains were present in N-polar, but not metal-polar samples. The morphology of Ga-polar GaN SAG on nitride buffered Si(111) was similar to that of homoepitaxial GaN SAG.
