An array of backward diodes of a cathode layer adjacent to a first side of a non-uniform doping profile and an Antimonide-based tunnel barrier layer adjacent to a second side of the spacer layer have a monolithically integrated antenna bonded to each backward diode. The Antimonide-based tunnel barrier may be doped with, for example, a non-uniform delta doping profile. An imaging/detection device includes a 2D focal plane array of an array of backward diodes, wherein each backward diode is monolithically bonded to an antenna, which array is located at the back of an extended hemispherical lens, and wherein certain of the arrays are tilted for correcting optics aberrations. The antennas may be a bow-tie antenna, a planar log-periodic antenna, a double-slot with microstrip feed antenna, a spiral antenna, a helical antenna, a ring antenna, a dielectric rod antenna, or a double slot antenna with co-planar waveguide feed antenna.
