Design ideas for Tunnel-FETs

Design ideas for Tunnel-FETs Samarth Agarwal, Mathieu Luisier and Gerhard Klimeck

Objective:

  • To explore design ideas for voltage scaling of transistors.

Approach:

  • VDD scaling : Difficult in MOSFETs, possible in TFETs.
  • gFET: Larger tunneling area gives higher ION than conventional TFETs.
  • Modified and optimized gFET design to meet ITRS requirements.

Impact:

  • gFET with high ION and low IOFF will provide a viable alternative for VDD scaling to reduce power consumption.
