Abstract
A closed-form, analytical, and unified model for the surface potential from source to drain in nanowire (NW) gate-all-around (GAA) tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs) is proposed and validated. Foremost, the correctness of the dual modulation effect in GAA-TFETs is demonstrated. Building on that, the model comprehensively considers the effects of the channel depletion region, drain depletion region, and channel inversion charges. Furthermore, a compact current model for GAA-TFETs, based on the derived surface potential expression, is presented, with a discussion on ambipolar conduction—an essential factor for device model integrity. The model’s accuracy and flexibility are validated through TCAD simulations and measurement data from NW-GAA-TFETs, yielding promising results.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society (J-EDS) is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal publishing papers ranging from fundamental to applied research that are scientifically rigorous and relevant to electron devices. The J-EDS publishes original and significant contributions relating to the theory, modelling, design, performance, and reliability of electron and ion integrated circuit devices and interconnects, involving insulators, metals, organic materials, micro-plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect structures, vacuum devices, and emerging materials with applications in bioelectronics, biomedical electronics, computation, communications, displays, microelectromechanics, imaging, micro-actuators, nanodevices, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, power IC''s, and micro-sensors. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are, also, published. And, occasionally special issues with a collection of papers on particular areas in more depth and breadth are, also, published. J-EDS publishes all papers that are judged to be technically valid and original.
