摘要: Abstract We design a heterojunction-enhanced n-channel tunneling field effect transistor (HE-TFET) with an InAs/In 1− x Ga As heterojunction located in channel region distance of L T-H from source/channel junction. The influence on the performance HE-TFETs is investigated by simulation. Compared InAs homo-NTFET, positive shift onset voltage, steeper subthreshold swing (SS), and enhanced on-state current I ON are achieved HE-NTFETs, which attributed to modulation band-to-band tunneling. At supply voltage 0.3 V, 0.9 0.1 HE-NTFET 6 nm demonstrates enhancement 119.3% comparison homo device. Furthermore, impact composition HE-NTFETs studied. increases, average SS characteristics improved, while drive devices reduced due increasing barrier.
