Abstract

Theoretically, confined heterostructure p(-n)-i-n (n(-p)-i-p) TFETs are promising candidates for future low-power applications, with n-TFET outperforming p-TFET. An optimal body thickness of about 10nm is predicted for Ga0.5As0.5Sb-In0.53Ga0.47As n-TFET with I60=20μA/μm. For p-TFETs, stronger confinement may be required to avoid tunneling to the heavy-hole band. An unexploited domain is the insertion of thin heterostructure slabs offering a locally reduced dielectric constant, enhancing both SS and Ion.
