  • Abstract
    This paper demonstrates for the first time a compact model for Tunnel FETs (TFETs), developed for IC simulations. The model is based on Kane´s Model for band-to-band-tunneling. The proposed model is applied to the transfer and the gm/ID characteristics of various TFET structures, both experimental and TCAD-simulated. We find a good agreement between the devices and our model. The agreement is improved for those TFETs which have an enhanced electrostatic gate control.
