On the possibility of sub 60 mV/decade subthreshold switching in piezoelectric gate barrier transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method for the reduction of subthreshold slope below the room-temperature Boltzmann limit of 60 mV/dec for a field-effect transistor based on negative differential capacitance is proposed. This effect uses electric field induced electrostriction of a piezoelectric gate barrier of the transistor. The mechanism amplifies the internal surface potential over the applied gate voltage. This internal voltage gain mechanism provides an opportunity for steep subthreshold slope switching below 60 mV/decade of the transistor current.

Sub-60 mV/decade switching in 2D negative capacitance field-effect transistors with integrated ferroelectric polymer
There is a rising interest in employing the negative capacitance (NC) effect to achieve sub-60 mV/ decade (below the thermal limit) switching in field-effect transistors (FETs). The NC effect, which is an effectual amplification of the applied gate potential, is realized by incorporating a ferroelectric material in series with a dielectric in the gate stack of a FET. One of the leading challeng...

It has been shown that a ferroelectric material integrated into the gate stack of a transistor can create an effective negative capacitance (NC) that allows the device to overcome "Boltzmann tyranny". While this switching below the thermal limit has been observed with Si-based NC field-effect transistors (NC-FETs), the adaptation to 2D materials would enable a device that is scalable in operati...
متن کاملFundamental limits of the switching abruptness of tunneling transistors
The tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) is one of the most promising candidates for future low-power electronics because of its potential to achieve a subthreshold swing less than the 60 mV/decade thermal limit at room temperature. It can surpass this limit because the turn-on of tunneling does not sample the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of carriers that gives rise to the 60 mV/decade li...
