  • Abstract
    A tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) is characterized specially by its low off current and high on current to off current ratio. For a nanoscale TFET, the off current is primarily band to band tunneling current. Off current expression in TFET is derived in this paper and device simulation has been performed using SILVACO ATLAS. The analytical expression matches closely with the simulation results for different drain voltages with zero gate voltage.
