Novel Sandwich-Stacked Heterojunction Junctionless TFET for Low Power Applications
摘要
Junctionless Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (JL-TFET) is widely studied as a replacement for standard Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) structure for low power applications. These JL-TFET structures are explored to provide a higher current ratio and Subthreshold Slope (SS) well below 60 mV/decade. This paper proposes a Ta2O5 oxide-based heterojunction JL-TFET together with GaAs layers sandwiching the drain region, to achieve the current ratio of the order of 109 and SS of 31.21 mV/decade. This paper further explores the effect of oxide thickness and the choice of dielectric material for gate oxide for the proposed design.
