Abstract
In this article, the impact of gate-underlap with hetero material (low band gap) has been investigated in terms of DC and Analog/RF parameters by proposed device named as hetero material gate-underlap electrically doped TFET (HM-GUL-ED-TFET). Gate-underlap resolves the problem of ambipolarity, gate leakage current (Ig) and slightly improves the gate to drain capacitance, but DC performance is almost unaffected. Further, the use of low band gap material (Si0.5Ge) in proposed device causes a drastic improvement in the DC as well as RF figures of merit. We have investigated the Si0.5Ge as a suitable candidate among different low band gap materials. In addition, the sensitivity of gate-underlap in terms of gate to drain inversion and parasitic capacitances has been studied for HM-GUL-ED-TFET. Further, relatively it is observed that gate-underlap is a better way than drain-underlap in the proposed structure to improve Analog/RF performances without degrading the DC parameters of device. Additionally, hetero-junction alignment analysis has been done for fabrication feasibility.
