Abstract

The impact of Gaussian-shaped doping-profiles on the potential and the current transfer characteristics of an Double-Gate (DG) Tunnel-FET (TFET) is investigated in this paper. Based on results of the analysis, a simple model by solving Poisson´s equation is developed. The model is able to calculate the potential difference in the channel region caused by the applied doping gradient. Considering the modifications in the two-dimensional (2D) potential profile the band-to-band (B2B) and trap-assisted-tunneling (TAT) current are calculated with help of Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation and Landauer transmission theory. The results are validated by comparison with TCAD simulation data.
