In this paper, a new two dimensional (2D) analytical modeling and simulation for a Dual Material Double Gate tunnel field effect transistor (DMDG TFET) is proposed. The Parabolic approximation technique is used to solve the 2-D Poisson equation with suitable boundary conditions and analytical expressions for surface potential and electric field are derived. This electric field distribution is further used to calculate the tunnelling generation rate and thus we numerically extract the tunnelling current. The results show a significant improvement in on-current characteristics while short channel effects are greatly reduced. Effectiveness of the proposed model has been confirmed by comparing the analytical results with the TCAD simulation results.

TCAD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 소스영역으로 오버랩된(overlapped) 게이트를 가진 터널링 전계효과 트랜지스터(Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor; TFET)의 오버랩된 게이트 길이에 따른 터널링 전류 특성을 조사하였다. 터널링은 크게 라인터널링과 포인트 터널링으로 구분되는데, 라인터널링이 포인트터널링보다 subthreshold swing(SS), on-current에서 더 높은 성능을 보인다. 본 논문은 Silicon, Germanium, Si-Ge Hetero TFET구조에서 게이트 길이를 소스영역으로 오버랩될 경우에 포인트 터널링과 라인터널링의 효과를 조사해서 SS와 on-current에 최적합한 구조의 가이드라인을 제시한다.

This work presents a novel structure for junction-less tunneling field effect transistor (JL-TFET) with a floating gate over the source region. Introduction of floating gate instead of fixed metal gate removes the limitation of fabrication process suitability. The proposed device is based on a heavily n-type-doped Si-channel junction-less field effect transistor (JLFET). A floating gate over source region and a control-gate with optimized metal work-function over channel region is used to make device work like a tunnel field effect transistor (TFET). The proposed device has exhibited excellent ID-VGS characteristics, ION/IOFF ratio, a point subthreshold slope (SS), and average SS for optimized device parameters. Electron charge stored in floating gate, isolation oxide layer and body doping concentration are optimized. The proposed JL-TFET can be a promising candidate for switching performances.

Tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is a promising candidate for the next-generation electron device. However, technical issues remain for their practical application: poor current drivability, shor-tchannel effect and ambipolar behavior. We propose herein a novel recessed-channel TFET (RTFET) with the asymmetric source and drain. The specific design parameters are determined by technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation for high on-current and low S. The designed RTFET provides ${\sim}446{\times}$ higher on-current than a conventional planar TFET. And, its average value of the S is 63 mV/dec.

In this paper, a new two dimensional (2D) analytical model of a Dual Material Gate tunnel field effect transistor (DMG TFET) is presented. The parabolic approximation technique is used to solve the 2-D Poisson equation with suitable boundary conditions. The simple and accurate analytical expressions for surface potential and electric field are derived. The electric field distribution can be used to calculate the tunneling generation rate and numerically extract tunneling current. The results show a significant improvement of on-current and reduction in short channel effects. Effectiveness of the proposed method has been confirmed by comparing the analytical results with the TCAD simulation results.

In this paper, two competing mechanisms determining drain current of tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) have been investigated such as band-to-band tunneling and drift. Based on the results, the characteristics of TFETs have been discussed in the tunneling-dominant and drift-dominant region.

무접합 나노선 터널 전계 효과 트렌지스터(junctionless nanowire tunnel field-effect transistor; JLNW-TFET)에서 소스(p+), 채널(i), 드레인(n) 물질으로 실리콘 및 게르마늄을 사용하여 이 구조에 대한 문턱전압 이하 기울기(subthreshold swings; SS)와 구동전류를 관찰했다. 소스-채널을 게르마늄-실리콘일 때 실리콘-실리콘, 실리콘-게르마늄, 게르마늄-게르마늄 구조보다 구동전류가 최대 1000배 증가하였고, 실리콘-실리콘 구조가 다른 구조에 비해 최소 SS가 최대 5배 이상 감소하였다.

Dual gate L-shaped tunnel field-effect-transistor (DG-LTFET) is presented in this study. DG-LTFET achieves near vertical subthreshold slope (SS) and its ON current is also found to be higher then both conventional TFET and LTFET. This device could serve as a potential replacement for conventional complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology.

Control of threshold voltage ($V_T$) by ground-plane (GP) technique for planar tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is studied for the first time using TCAD simulation method. Although GP technique appears to be similarly useful for the TFET as for the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), some unique behaviors such as the small controllability under weak ground doping and dependence on the dopant polarity are also observed. For $V_T$-modulation larger than 100 mV, heavy ground doping over $1{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ or back biasing scheme is preferred in case of TFETs. Polarity dependence is explained with a mechanism similar to the punch-through of MOSFETs. In spite of some minor differences, this result shows that both MOSFETs and TFETs can share common $V_T$-control scheme when these devices are co-integrated.
