Analytic model for the surface potential and drain current in negative capacitance field-effect transistors
TLDR
In this article, a comprehensive physics-based surface potential and drain current model for the negative capacitance field effect transistor is presented, aimed to evaluate the potentiality of such transistors for low-power switching applications.Abstract:
In 2008, Salahuddin and Datta proposed that a ferroelectric material operating in the negative capacitance region could act as a step-up converter of the surface potential in a MOS structure, opening a new route for the realization of transistors with steeper subthreshold characteristics (S<60 mV/decade). In this letter, a comprehensive physics-based surface potential and drain current model for the negative capacitance field-effect transistor is reported. The model is aimed to evaluate the potentiality of such transistors for low-power switching applications. Moreover it provides a model core for memories devices relying on the hysteretic behavior of the ferroelectric gate insulator.read more
