Analytical model for a tunnel field-effect transistor

The tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is a promising candidate for the succession of the MOSFET at nanometer dimensions. Due to the absence of a simple analytical model for the TFET, the working principle is generally not well understood. In this paper a new TFET structure is introduced and using Kanepsilas model, an analytical expression for the current through the TFET is derived. Furthermore, a compact expression for the TFET current is derived and conclusions concerning TFET design are drawn. The obtained analytical expressions are compared with results from a 2D device simulator and good agreement at low gate voltages is demonstrated.
