Omega-Gated Silicon and Strained Silicon Nanowire Array Tunneling FETs

This letter presents experimental results on tunneling field-effect transistors featuring arrays of Ω-gated uniaxially strained and unstrained silicon nanowires. The gate control of a SiO 2 /poly-Si gate stack is compared with a high- k /metal gate stack. Steep inverse subthreshold slopes down to 76...

description This letter presents experimental results on tunneling field-effect transistors featuring arrays of Ω-gated uniaxially strained and unstrained silicon nanowires. The gate control of a SiO 2 /poly-Si gate stack is compared with a high- k /metal gate stack. Steep inverse subthreshold slopes down to 76 mV/dec and relatively high on-currents were achieved with the combination of high- k /metal gate and strained silicon nanowires. We observed negative differential conductance in the output characteristics, which we attribute to hot-carrier effects in the strong electric fields at the reverse-biased tunnel junction.
