Abstract
This article investigates a vertically grown double gate silicon channel and germanium source dopingless TFET using the charge plasma concept for enhanced analog performance. The germanium layer used in the underlap region significantly improves device characteristics. For studying the DC performance, analog/RF performance and various non-idealities of the Vertical Si-Ge Heterojunction Dopingless (VHJDL) TFET device calibrated numerical simulator is employed. Moreover, the device performance is examined by varying the different structural parameters, and parasitic phenomena are investigated. The simulated results exhibited that VHJDL TFET device can achieve desirable analog and digital performance such as ION as high as \(\approx\) 80µA/µm along with an ION/IOFF ratio of 6.784 × 1012 and a cut-off frequency (fT) being equal to 64.7 GHz.
期刊介绍:
The journal Silicon is intended to serve all those involved in studying the role of silicon as an enabling element in materials science. There are no restrictions on disciplinary boundaries provided the focus is on silicon-based materials or adds significantly to the understanding of such materials. Accordingly, such contributions are welcome in the areas of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, nanoscience, environmental science, electronics and optoelectronics, and modeling and theory. Relevant silicon-based materials include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, composites, ceramics, glasses, coatings, resins, composites, small molecules, and thin films.
