Dual material gate junctionless tunnel field effect transistor

This paper proposes a junctionless tunnel field effect transistor (JLTFET) with dual material gate (DMG) structure and the performance was studied on the basis of energy band profile modulation. The two-dimensional simulation was carried out to show the effect of conduction band minima on the abruptness of transition between the ON and OFF states, which results in low subthreshold slope (SS). Appropriate selection of work function for source and drain side gate metal of a double metal gate JLTFET can also significantly reduce the subthreshold slope (SS), OFF state leakage and hence gives improved ION/IOFF.
