Abstract
While recent industrial automation trends emphasize the importance of non-destructive inspection by material-identifying millimeter-wave, terahertz-wave, and infrared (MMW, THz, IR) monitoring, fundamental tools in these wavelength bands (such as sensors) are still immature. Although inorganic semiconductors serve as diverse sensors with well-established large-scale fine-processing fabrication, the use of those devices is insufficient for non-destructive monitoring due to the lack of photo-absorbent properties for such major materials in partial regions across MMW–IR wavelengths. To satisfy the inherent advantageous non-destructive MMW–IR material identification, ultrabroadband operation is indispensable for photo-sensors under compact structure, flexible designability, and sensitive performances. This review then introduces the recent advances of carbon nanotube film-based…
