A SiGe-Source Doping-Less Double-Gate Tunnel FET: Design and Analysis Based on Charge Plasma Technique with Enhanced Performance

Double-Gate Tunnel FET With High-κ Gate Dielectric

In this paper, we propose and validate a novel design for a double-gate tunnel fi eld-effect transistor (DG Tunnel FET), for which the simulations show significant improvements compared with single-gate devices using an SiO2 gate dielectric. For the fi rst time, DG Tunnel FET devices, which are using a high-κ gate dielectric, are explored using realistic design parameters, showing an ON-current...

Design and Optimization of a P+N+IN+ Tunnel FET with Si Channel and SiGe Source

A Silicon tunnel FET with Si1-x Gex source is investigated and optimized for improved performance. In order to optimize the device performance, Germanium mole fraction and the length of the SiGe region is varied and the optimum values are obtained. Moreover, the source/channel hetero-junction is assumed graded. The grading distance is varied from zero (abrupt hetero-junction) to total channel l...

A Physics–based Model for Electrical Parameters of Double gate Hetero-material Nano Scale Tunnel FET

This paper focuses a hetero gate material dielectric DG TFET with low band gap source material, which offers high / on off I I ratio, sub 60mV/dec subthreshold swing along with significant improvement in on current. Here analytical model for 2D electric field is derived from Poisson’s equation and is used to determine the subthreshold swing, transconductance, output conductance, gate threshold ...

Drive current boosting of n-type tunnel FET with strained SiGe layer at source

Though silicon tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) has attracted attention for sub-60mV/decade subthreshold swing and very small OFF current (IOFF), its practical application is questionable due to low ON current (ION) and complicated fabrication process steps. In this paper, a new n-type classical-MOSFET-alike tunnel FET architecture is proposed, which offers sub-60mV/decade subthreshold swi...
