We present estimates of the performance limits of terahertz detectors based on the field effect transistors (FETs) operating in the regime of broadband detection. The maximal responsivity is predicted for short-channel FETs in the subthreshold regime. The conversion efficiency of the device, Q (defined as the ratio of the power dissipated by radiation-induced dc current to the THz dissipated power) has an absolute maximum as a function of two variables: the power and the frequency of the incoming radiation. The maximal value of Q is on the order of 10%.
