Description

energy band diagram

The tunnel field-effect transistor (tunnel FET or TFET) is a transistor that operate by tunneling through the source/drain barrier rather than diffusion over the barrier. Tunnel FETs belongs to the family of so-called steep-slope devices which can switch on/off at lower voltages than metal oxide semiconductor FETs (MOSFETs) and are being investigated for ultra-low-power electronic applications.

    15 Jul 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Hyeongu Lee, SeongHyeok Jeon, Cho Yucheol, Mincheol Shin

    In this work, we investigated the effects of the traps, Arsenic dangling bond (AsDB) and Arsenic anti-site (AsIn) traps, in InAs gate-all-around nanowire TFETs, using the trap Hamiltonian obtained from the first-principles calculations. The transport properties were treated by nonequilibrium...

    14 Jul 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Adel Mfoukh, Marco Pala

    Lateral heterostructures based on lattice-matched 2D materials are a promising option to design efficient electron devices such as MOSFETs [1], tunnel-FETs [2] and energy-filtering FETs [3]. In order to rigorously describe the transport through such heterostructures, an ab-initio approach based...
