...The demonstrated TFETs of Fig. 1 show that, with the exception of the Choi [ 36 ], the measured sub-60-mV/ decade swings occur at channel currents in the pA/� m range well below a typical transistor threshold voltage....

...At this writing, less than 60-mV/decade subthreshold swings have been reported in only a few TFETs based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) [6], [35], Si [ 36 ]–[39], Ge [40], and p þ Ge=n þ Si [41] channels....

...However, because the TFET uses the band-toband tunneling instead of thermionic emission, its ON current is expected to be lower than that of the MOSFET, for the same channel material....
