We report on the broadband THz response of InGaAs/GaAs HEMTs operating at 1.63 THz and room temperature deep in the saturation regime. We demonstrate that responses show linear increase with drain-to-source voltage (or drain bias current) and reach very high values up to 170V/W. We also develop a phenomenological theory valid both in the ohmic and in the saturation regimes.
