Abstract
- Abstract: A two dimensional drain current model has been proposed for a gate all around silicon p–n–p–n (pocket doped or tunnel source) tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) including the influence of drain voltage and source/drain depletion widths. The results extracted through numerical simulations have been used to obtain a semi empirical formulation of tunnel barrier width (L BW ) which captures the dependence of gate voltage, drain voltage, and geometrical parameters (radii (R) and gate oxide thickness (t ox)). The model is then used for evaluating various electrical parameters such as: drain current I ds, sub-threshold swing (SS), trans-conductance (g m ), and device efficiency (g m /I ds ). The impact of scaling R and t ox on the above mentioned parameters have also been investigated. Moreover, the model depicts the influence of pocket doping and pocket width (which are crucial parameters for optimization of p–n–p–n TFET performance) on the energy band profile of a p–n–p–n TFET very well. The modeled results are in good agreement with the device simulation results. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
