The model will be useful for designing PNBTFETs with optimum transition voltage, small hysteresis, and low standby current.","PeriodicalId":424135,"journal":{"name":"2017 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124155235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First-principles simulation shows that the presence of co-dopants in the pn junction region leads to an increase in the interband tunnelling current by two orders of magnitude. Furthermore co-dopants interaction plays a key role in the interband tunnelling. In the absence of dopants states in the pn junction region, raising the doping concentration at source region does not give an appreciable improvement in tunnelling current.","PeriodicalId":424135,"journal":{"name":"2017 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129605744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
