The current-voltage characteristics of Silicon(Si), Germanum(Ge), and hetero tunnel field-effect transistors(TFETs) with source-overlapped gate structure was investigated using TCAD simulations in terms of tunneling. A Si-TFET with gate oxide material $SiO_2$ showed the hump effects in which line and point tunneling appear simultaneously, but one with gate oxide material $HfO_2$ showed only the line tunneling due to decreasing threshold voltage and it shows better performance than one with gate oxide material $SiO_2$. Tunneling mechanism of Ge and hetero-TFETs with gate oxide material of both $SiO_2$ and $HfO_2$ are dominated by point tunneling, and showed higher leakage currents, and Si-TFET shows better performance than Ge and hetero-TFETs in terms of SS. These simulation results of Si, Ge, and hetero-TFETs with source-overlapped gate structure can give the guideline for optimal TFET structures with non-silicon channel materials.

The characteristics of tunnel field-effect transistor(TFET) structure with source-overlapped gate was investigated using a TCAD simulations. Tunneling is mostly divided into line-tunneling and point-tunneling, and line-tunneling is higher performance than point-tunneling in terms of subthreshold swing(SS) and on-current. In this paper, from the simulation results of source-overlapped gate length effects at silicon(Si), germanium(Ge), Si-Ge hetero TFET structure, the guideline of optimal structure with highest performance are proposed.

The structure guide lines of pocket tunnel field effect transistor(TFET) considering Line and Point tunneling are introduced. As the pocket doping concentration or thickness increase, on-current $I_{on}$ increases. As the pocket thickness or gate insulator increase, subthreshold swing(SS) increases. Optimal structure reducing the hump effects should be proposed in order to enhance SS.

Using TCAD simulation, performances of tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) was investigated. Drain current-gate voltage types of TFET structure such as single-gate TFET (SG-TFET), double-gate TFET (DG-TFET), L-shaped TFET (L-TFET), and Pocket-TFET (P-TFET) are simulated, and then as dielectric constant of gate oxide and channel length are varied their subthreshold swing (SS) and on-current ($I_{on}$) are compared. On-currents and subthreshold swings of the L-TFET and P-TFET structures with high electric constant and line tunneling were 10 times and 20 mV/dec more than those of the SG-TFET and DG-TFET using point tunneling, respectively. Especially, it is shown that hump effect which dominant current element changes from point tunneling to line tunneling, is disappeared in P-TFET with high-k gate oxide such as $HfO_2$. The analysis of 4 types of TFET structure provides guidelines for the design of new types of TFET structure which concentrate on line tunneling by minimizing point tunneling.

Current and capacitance-voltage characteristics of tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) with various quantum models were investigated. Density gradient, Bohm quantum potential (BQP), and Vandort quantum correction are used with calibrating against Schrodinger-Poisson model. Drive-currents in all models. are decreased. When only BQP is used, SS and $V_{onset}$ are fixed but drive-current is decreased 3 times more than those of no quantum model. And When BQP with Vandort and density gradient are used, SS increased more than 40 mV./dec and $V_{onset}$ shifted as 0.07 eV.

Current-voltage characteristics of source-overlapped gate tunnel field-effect transistor (SOG-TFET) with different channel doping concentration are proposed. Due to the gaussian doping in which the channel region near the source is highly doped and that far from the source is lightly doped, the ambipolar current was reduced, compared with the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET. On-current is almost similar in P-P-N and P-I-N structure but subthreshold swing (SS) of P-P-N TFET enhanced 5 times higher than those of P-I-N TFET. off-current and ambiploar current of the proposed SOG-TFET decrease 10 times and 100 times than those of the uniformly-doped SOG-TFET.

Wi-Fi defines the procedure to search an AP, authenticate both station and AP, and associate the new BSS or ESS which enables the link layer handoff. One of the problems for hotspot service of Wi-Fi is "passing-object", Wi-Fi describes the messages exchanges between two neighboring APs in BSS or ESS. If the station passes through the neighboring APs before completing link-layer handoff, the path where the tunneled packets should be sent is lost. In this paper, we propose to integrate the positioning entity in a service domain to keep track the high-speed movement.
