Accurate Analytical Modeling of Drain Current of Heterojunction Tunneling Field Effect Transistor

An accurate analytical model is presented for drain current of the heterojunction tunneling field effect transistor, taking into account the source depletion region, mobile charges and the effect of the drain voltage. This model accurately predicts the potential distribution not only on the surface but also within the semiconductor depth by utilizing newly formulated mathematical relationships. Using the tangent line approximation method and considering the channel region as well as the source depletion region’ We analytically calculate the band-to-band tunneling current from the source to the channel by integrating the tunneling generation rate. Compared to simulation results, the proposed model demonstrates significant accuracy in predicting drain current.
