  • Abstract
    For the first time, we investigated the impact of varying doping concentration and gate oxide thickness on the performance of band-to-band tunneling transistors. The output saturation current revealed a strong dependence on both parameters. Consequently, we were able to improve the saturation current by nearly a factor of 50.
