In agreement with the plasma wave detection theory, the response was found to depend on the gate length and the gate bias. The obtained values of responsivity (<= 200 V/W) and noise equivalent power (>= 10(-10) W/Hz(0.5)) demonstrate the potential of Si MOSFETs as sensitive detectors of terahertz radiation.
