In this paper, we propose a novel tunneling graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor by modification of the conventional structure in a way that its drain high-doped extension part is replaced by lightly linear doped region. Then the proposed structure has a Schottky contact at the drain side. As the source contact is ohmic and the drain contact is Schottky, this structure is called Schottky–Ohmic tunneling graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor. Electrical behaviors of the proposed device are investigated by mode space nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism in the ballistic limit. Simulation results show that without increasing transistor length, I OFF , I ON /I OFF , ambipolar behavior, delay time and PDP of the proposed structure improve, in comparison with the conventional tunneling graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor with the same dimension. Also subthreshold swing which is one of the evident characteristics of the tunneling FET is preserved in this structure.

Abstract In this work, a Schottky junction on the drain side employing low workfunction (WF) metal is proposed as a method to suppress the OFF-state leakage in nanowire (NW) field-effect transistor (FET). Instead of a highly n+ doped drain, low WF metal with negative electron Schottky-barrier height (SBH) as a drain minimizes the lateral band-to-band tunneling (L-BTBT) considerably. L-BTBT is the movement of carriers (holes) from the drain conduction band (CB) into the channel valence band (VB) during the OFF-state. Impact of varying WF at channel-drain junction on the device characteristics is studied. It is observed that SBH60 eV is required to mitigate L-BTBT compared to the conventionally-doped and junctionless (JL) NW counterpart. Furthermore, unlike L-BTBT, leakage in NW Schottky-drain (SD) comprises of holes tunneling through the SB from the metal drain into the channel and termed as the lateral SB tunneling (L-SBT). In contrast to JL NW FET, the process variation immunity (varying channel doping, NCh and NW diameter, dNW ) and the ON-state current of the proposed device is not compromised at the expense of lower OFF-state LSBT. Instead, the device is less susceptible to process variations and retains the ON-state performance of the NW MOSFET. For a ±20% change in NCh, ∆IOF F /IOF F of 7% compared to 97% in NW JL FET is observed.

Tunnel field-effect transistor (Tunnel FET) with asymmetric spacer is proposed to obtain high on-current and reduced inverter delay simultaneously. In order to analyze the proposed Tunnel FET, electrical characteristics are evaluated by technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations with calibrated tunneling model parameters. The impact of the spacer κ values on tunneling rate is investigated with the symmetric spacer. As the κ values of the spacer increase, the on-current becomes enhanced since tunneling probabilities are increased by the fringing field through the spacer. However, on the drain-side, that fringing field through the drain-side spacer increases ambipolar current and gate-to-drain capacitance, which degrades leakage property and switching response. Therefore, the drain-side low-κ spacer, which makes the low fringing field, is adapted asymmetrically with the source-side high-κ spacer. This asymmetric spacer results in the reduction of gate-to-drain capacitance and switching delay with the improved on-current induced by the source-side high-κ spacer.
