A dual-metal-gate (DMG) tunnel FET (TFET) integrating a heavily-doped pocket within the channel is optimized through TCAD simulations by considering quantization-induced bandgap widening. First, the performance penalty due to the reduced tunneling probability is estimated and next, device design options to minimize the negative impact of quantization on the DMG-TFET performance are assessed.

Abstract

A dual-metal-gate (DMG) tunnel FET (TFET) integrating a heavily-doped pocket within the channel is optimized through TCAD simulations by considering quantization-induced bandgap widening. First, the performance penalty due to the reduced tunneling probability is estimated and next, device design options to minimize the negative impact of quantization on the DMG-TFET performance are assessed.
