A very low bandgap line-tunnel field effect transistor with channel-buried oxide and laterally doped pocket
description Low bandgap and line tunneling techniques have demonstrated the most effectiveness in enhancing the on-current of tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs). This study examines the mechanisms and designs of channel-buried oxide and laterally doped pocket for a very low bandgap line-TFET. Numerical TCAD simulations show that the channel-buried oxide is needed to prevent the off-state lateral tunneling while still maintaining the on-state vertical tunneling. The buried oxide pillar should be high so that the channel is thin about 10 nm thickness to completely suppress the tunneling leakage. The dopant pocket is required to trigger the line tunneling earlier than the point tunneling to improve the subthreshold swing and on-current. Increasing the pocket concentration or decreasing the pocket thickness both cause an increase not only in the vertical band bending but also in the effective gate-insulator thickness. Because of the trade-off between these two operation parameters, for a given thickness/concentration, there exists an optimal concentration/thickness of the pocket to maximize the on-current. The on-current is optimized using a heavy and thin pocket for which the band bending is maximized and the effective gate-insulator thickness is minimized. For the fabrication feasibility using existing doping techniques, the pocket concentration and thickness should be respectively 1019 cm-3 and 4 nm to maximize the on-current of the InAs line-TFET.
