Electromagnetic wave generation device and detection device

Abstract

The invention provides an electromagnetic wave generation device. The device includes a substrate provided with a terahertz wave oscillation section including a resonant tunneling diode structure, a two-dimensional electron layer having a semiconductor heterojunction structure, and a transistor section including a source electrode and a drain electrode provided at end portions of the two-dimensional electron layer and a gate electrode provided above the two-dimensional electron layer. The terahertz wave output of the terahertz wave oscillation section changes distribution of electrons in the two-dimensional electron layer.
