Abstract

Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) with a steep subthreshold-slope (SS) are promising low-power switches for future large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs) with low power consumption and high performance. Recently, we demonstrated vertical TFETs with III-V/Si heterojunctions. This new sort of tunnel junction achieves a steep SS because of its unique figure-of-merit. Here, we report on recent progress on vertical TFETs using Si/III-V heterojunctions and means for boosting on-state current.
