Designing High-Current TFETs: Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) operate according to principles of quantum mechanics. They are promising for ultra-low-power applications because they operate at low voltages, but it’s difficult to build them so that they carry useful amounts of current. At the IEDM, researchers from Purdue University and partners will present a design methodology for heterostructure TFETs that have a high on-current of 265 A/m at 0.18V, and 1.95 A/m at 0.12V. These values, from calculations based on the essential physics of the device, derive from extensive modeling and simulation of theoretical device structures. The computer simulations above show the ballistic local density of both the ON-state (a) and OFF-state (b) bias of a (110 )-confined triple-HJ TFET. Resonant states are circled. While the two resonant states are clearly separated in ballistic simulations, inelastic scattering will increase off-current due to coupling between the two states.
