We suggest a novel approach to detect broad band, 0.078-2.52 THz, electromagnetic radiation at room temperature using an asymmetrically-shaped bow-tie diode based on a modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs structure. We show that the voltage sensitivity in the range from 0.078 THz up to 0.8 THz has a plateau and its value is within 0.3-0.5 V/W. We consider the bow-tie diode design to increase the sensitivity of the device.
