Abstract
In this paper, a new stacked gate oxide L-shaped Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (LTFET) is proposed. The stacked gate oxide structure incorporates high-k and SiO2 dielectrics. The high-k dielectric, specifically, contributes to a robust electric field at the source/channel junction. This augmented electric field results in more energy band bending and a thinner tunneling barrier. As a result, the proposed device shows the drain current of 0.224 mA/μm, OFF-current of 1.3 × 10–17 A/μm, threshold voltage of 0.62 V and average subthreshold swing of 34 mV/decade, in comparison with the conventional LTFET. Moreover, this paper demonstrates the role of both Shockley–Read–Hall generation and trap assisted tunneling in the subthreshold swing degradation due to the existence of trap inside the silicon band gap.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered.
In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
