Abstract:

This talk presents a continuous analytic model for tunnel FETs with a FinFET-type of structure. At the core of the model is a gate-controlled channel potential that satisfies the source and drain boundary conditions. The potential profile is of an exponential nature with the characteristic scale length given by the device thickness. Both the source-to-channel tunneling and source-to-drain tunneling are covered by the model. It has been verified by numerical simulations for a wide range of bandgaps and channel lengths. Also built-in into the model are the short-channel effect, source doping effect, and de-bias of gate voltage by channel charge.
