Dependency of Tunneling Field-Effect Transistor (TFET) Characteristics on Operation Regions

In this paper, two competing mechanisms determining drain current of tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) have been investigated such as band-to-band tunneling and drift. Based on the results, the characteristics of TFETs have been discussed in the tunneling-dominant and drift- dominant region.
