The MOM tunneling diode - Theoretical estimate of its performance at microwave and infrared frequenciesA theoretical analysis of the metal-oxide-metal (MOM) antenna/diode as a detector of microwave and infrared radiation is presented with the experimental verification conducted in the far infrared. It is shown that the detectivity at room temperature can be as high as 10 to the 10th per W Hz exp 1/2 at frequencies of 10 to the 14th Hz in the infrared. As a result, design guidelines are obtained for the lithographic fabrication of thin-film MOM structures that are to operate in the 10-micron region of the infrared spectrum.
