Abstract
We report the first comparison study of BTI characteristics of nTFET and nMOSFET with the same high-k/metal gate stack fabricated on the same wafer. NTFETs demonstrate smaller ΔVTH and Gm loss in comparison with the nMOSFET under the same PBTI stress. We speculate that the trapped electrons density in HfO2 gate dielectric above the tunnel junction (TJ) is lower than that above the channel, which leads to the superior PBTI characteristics in nTFET.
