ROHM Semiconductor Develops 2nd Generation Terahertz Wave Oscillation Device Using Resonant Tunneling Diodes

ROHM Semiconductor has developed a 2nd Generation terahertz (THz) wave oscillation device using semiconductor elements known as Resonant Tunneling Diodes (RTDs). ROHM is making the device available via the RTD-EVK-G2 Terahertz Wave Device Evaluation Kit, which includes a sample device, cable, and evaluation board. The kit enables companies and research institutions to evaluate THz wave oscillation and detection in a compact development environment. Occupying the frequency region between radio waves and light, terahertz waves combine the penetrating properties of radio waves with the straight-line propagation of light. Because they exhibit unique absorption characteristics for polymers, moisture, and other substances, they are expected to be used in non-destructive testing without ionizing radiation, medical and healthcare applications, and high-resolution radar sensing. Since the late 2000s, ROHM has engaged in joint research with the Institute of Science Tokyo, Osaka University, and many other universities and research institutions to develop THz wave oscillation and detection devices using RTDs. In 2024, ROHM began offering samples of 1st Generation products, achieving substantial downsizing and cost reduction compared with conventional methods. ROHM has now developed a 2nd Generation terahertz wave oscillation device. The device maintains the same compact 0.5 × 0.5mm chip size as the 1st Generation product while adopting an internal structure that enables higher output power. As a result, output power has been increased to approximately 4 times that of the 1st Generation product, reaching a maximum of 40µW. The higher output power improves the detectability of THz waves after transmission through or reflection from target objects – making the device well suited for applications such as sensing and imaging that require high signal quality. The device is mounted in the same 4.0 × 4.3mm PLCC package, maintaining the industry’s smallest footprint. This enables evaluation environments to be built even in space-constrained settings. In addition, compared with other THz generation methods, the RTD approach generates less heat and consumes less power, reducing application development load at both companies and research institutions. Sales of the RTD-EVK-G2 evaluation kit, which includes samples of the 2nd Generation wave oscillation device, are planned to begin in August 2026. By enabling evaluation at a lower cost than other methods, the kit supports the development of a wide range of applications, including non-destructive testing; imaging and sensing in the medical and healthcare sectors; material identification; and moisture detection. ROHM will also continue sales of 1st Generation devices for applications that prioritize low power consumption. ROHM is committed to supporting terahertz wave research and application development and offers a variety of support materials. Combining the RTD-EVK-G2 Terahertz Wave Device Evaluation Kit with measurement tools such as Analog Discovery 3™ from Digilent (along with a computer and software) allows users to easily evaluate THz wave oscillation and detection. Both the device and evaluation board are compact, making it possible to build a research and development environment even in limited spaces.
