  • Publication number: 20230058216
    Abstract: A self-aligning preparation method for a drain underlap region in a tunnel field effect transistor: designing asymmetric side wall structures on two sides of the gate of a tunnel field effect transistor, the side of the gate closest to the source region being a thin side wall and the side of the gate closest to the drain region being a thick side wall; and using the source region thin side wall as a hard mask for implantation of the source region of the transistor and the drain region thick side wall as a hard mask for implantation of the drain region of the transistor. The present method effectively uses the thin side walls and thick side walls existing in standard CMOS processes to suppress the ambipolar effect of the tunnel field effect transistor without introducing special materials and special processes, and also optimizes the device variation characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9490363
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a tunneling field effect transistor having a three-side source and a fabrication method thereof, referring to field effect transistor logic devices and circuits in CMOS ultra large scale integrated circuits (ULSI). By means of the strong depletion effect of the three-side source, the transistor can equivalently achieve a steep doping concentration gradient for the source junction, significantly optimizing the sub-threshold slope of the TFET. Meanwhile, the turn-on current of the transistor is boosted. Furthermore, due to a region uncovered by the gate between the gate and the drain, the bipolar conduction effect of the transistor is effectively inhibited, and on the other hand, in the small-size transistor a parasitic tunneling current at the corner of the source junction is inhibited. The fabrication method is simple and can be accurately controlled.

  • Publication number: 20160079400
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a junction-modulated tunneling field effect transistor and a fabrication method thereof, belonging to a field of field effect transistor logic device and the circuit in connection with CMOS ultra large scale integrated circuit (ULSI). The PN junction provided by a highly-doped source region surrounding three sides of the vertical channel region of the tunneling field effect transistor can deplete effectively the channel region, so that the energy band of the surface channel under the gate is lifted, therefore the device may obtain a steeper energy band and a narrower tunneling barrier width than the conventional TFET when the band-to-band tunneling occurs, equivalently achieving the effect of a steep doping concentration gradient at the source tunneling junction, and thereby the sub-threshold characteristics are significantly improved while the turn-on current of the device is improved relative to the conventional TFET.
