Terahertz functional devices are essential to the advanced applications of terahertz radiation in biology and medicine, nanomaterials, and wireless communications. Due to the small size and high plasma frequency of microplasma, the interaction between terahertz radiation and microplasma provides opportunities for developing functional terahertz devices based on microplasma. This paper reviews the applications of microplasma in terahertz sources, terahertz amplifiers, terahertz filters, and
