Abstract
In this paper, we have reported a renovated silicon-based tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) structure with a channel length of 21 nm. The proposed structure has been optimized and analytically modeled. The broken gate TFET (BG-TFET) shows very low ambipolar current, good subthreshold swing (SS) and ON-currents comparable to the contemporary structures of similar dimensions. The surface potential and the electric field inside the device are modeled by solving the 2-D Poisson’s equation. The drain current is also modeled based on Kane’s generation rate. The results obtained from the analysis are validated against Synopsys Sentaurus TCAD nonlocal tunneling model-based simulations.
