The down-scaling of conventional MOSFETs has led to an impending power crisis, in which static power consumption is becoming too high. In order to improve the energy-efficiency of electronic circuits, small swing switches are interesting candidates to repl ...
This paper reports all-silicon asymmetrically strained Tunnel FET architectures that feature improved subthreshold swing and Ion/Ioff characteristics. We demonstrate that a lateral strain profile corresponding to at least 0.2 eV band-gap shrinkage at the B ...
NANOSIL Network of Excellence [NANOSIL NoE web site ], funded by the European Commission in the 7th Framework Programme (ICT-FP7, no 216171), aims at European scale integration of the excellent European research laboratories and their c ...
This work reports on the physical definition and extraction of threshold voltage in Tunnel FETs (field effect transistors) based on numerical simulation data. It is shown that the Tunnel FET has the outstanding property of having two threshold voltages: on ...
