Experimental demonstration of temperature stability of Si-tunnel FET over Si-MOSFET

Temperature dependences of tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) and MOSFET were experimentally compared on the same SOI wafer. Validity of the TFET result was corroborated by simulation. It is demonstrated that VTH shift and off-current increment of Si-TFET with temperature were smaller in comparison with Si-MOSFET. Temperature stability of TFET is promising for ultra-low power VLSI.
