Abstract
Part of the channel in L-shaped tunnel field-effect transistor (LTFET) is very thin and suffers from quantum confinement effect. Role of quantum confinement effect on band-to-band-tunneling (BTBT) of LTFET was investigated using numerical simulation and band diagram analysis. It was found that quantum confinement effect significantly affects the BTBT mechanism of LTFET devices.
