In this paper, we present a study on three-terminal ballistic junction and their applications to rectifiers and MUX/DEMUX. Rectifying effect is observed up to 94 GHz at room temperature. Although THz frequency performance has been demonstrated by Monte Carlo simulation, the high impedance of the nano-device combined with the parasitic capacitances is a limiting factor.
