Prospect of tunneling green transistor for 0.1V CMOS

Well designed tunneling green transistor may enable future VLSIs operating at 0.1V. Sub-60mV/decade characteristics have been convincingly demonstrated on 8″ wafers. Large ION at low VDD are possible according to TCAD simulations but awaits verification. VDD scaling will greatly benefit from low (effective) band gap energy, which may be provided by type II heterojunctions of Si/Ge or compound semiconductors.
