A silicon surface tunneling transistor structure, based on lateral band-to-band tunneling, is presented in this article, which is controlled by the bias on the gate of the device which modulates the width of the tunneling barrier.Abstract:
A silicon surface tunneling transistor structure, based on lateral band‐to‐band tunneling, is presented The theory, fabrication, and operation of the device is described Band‐to‐band tunneling is controlled by the bias on the gate of the device which modulates the width of the tunneling barrier The operation of the device is confirmed in both experimental results and two‐dimensional computer simulations Dramatic differences in drain current are observed for different gate biasread more

Tunnel field-effect transistors as energy-efficient electronic switches
Adrian M. Ionescu,Heike Riel +1 more
TL;DR: Tunnels based on ultrathin semiconducting films or nanowires could achieve a 100-fold power reduction over complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor transistors, so integrating tunnel FETs with CMOS technology could improve low-power integrated circuits.

Double-Gate Tunnel FET With High- $\kappa$ Gate Dielectric
Kathy Boucart,Adrian M. Ionescu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a double-gate tunnel field effect transistor (DG tunnel FET) with a high-kappa gate dielectric was proposed and validated using realistic design parameters, showing an on-current as high as 0.23 mA for a gate voltage of 1.8 V, an off-current of less than 1 fA (neglecting gate leakage), an improved average sub-threshold swing of 57 mV/dec, and a minimum point slope of 11 mV /dec.

TL;DR: In this paper, the complementary Si-based tunneling transistors are investigated in detail, and it is found that the band-to-band tunneling current is controlled by the gate-tosource voltage.

Tunnel field-effect transistor without gate-drain overlap
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalized the tunnel field effect transistor configuration by allowing a shorter gate structure, which is especially attractive for vertical nanowire-based transistors, and demonstrated with device simulations that the more flexible configuration allows of the reduction of ambipolar behavior, the increase of switching speed, and the decrease of processing complexity.
