Abstract
A novel flash memory cell based on Tunneling Field Effect Transistor (TFET) is investigated via 2-D device simulation in this paper. The proposed flash memory cell shows improved program/erase speed, increased programming efficiency and super punch-through immunity as the cell gate length scaled from 180nm to 45nm, which indicates that this new structure is with strong scalability. Furthermore, cell design consideration i.e. ambipolar suppression for the TFET-based flash cell are also investigated and discussed.
