Problems solved by technology

[0006] Achieving a large on-state current while maintaining a low off-state current TFET, that is, a TFET with a high switching ratio is the goal of the unanimous efforts of researchers. However, the current off-state current of the actual tunneling field effect transistor is relatively large, especially in the short In the case of a channel, the off-state current deteriorates severely, which is mainly due to the tunneling process controlled by the drain in addition to the tunneling process controlled by the gate in the TFET device.
Although there is no gate-controlled tunneling when the device is in the off state, if the drain voltage is too large or the channel is short, tunneling from the source region to the intrinsic region controlled by the drain voltage will occur in the lower part of the source region, and the leakage current will increase. Large, in the case of TFETs made of narrow bandgap, the leakage current problem is more serious
TFETs with high current switching ratio characteristics face great challenges

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of logic devices and circuits in the field of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, and specifically relates to a tunneling field-effect transistor with an increased current switching ratio. In the present invention, the electric field between the source region and the intrinsic region is increased by setting a low-K dielectric region between the source region and the drain region, thereby increasing the on-state current and suppressing the off-state current. The doped layer and the substrate are set to form a reverse-biased PN junction, and the contact between the source region-low-K dielectric region-drain region and the substrate is isolated, and the off-state current of the TFET is reduced. The above methods of increasing the on-state current and suppressing the off-state can be combined and superimposed on each other. Furthermore, the invention improves the on-state current, is compatible with the traditional CMOS technology, has low cost, and realizes a high current switching ratio.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of logic devices and circuits in the field of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, and relates to a longitudinal tunneling TFET device that increases the on-state current, in particular to a tunneling field effect transistor that increases the current switching ratio. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of lithography, implantation and other process technologies, the integration of chips is getting higher and higher, and the power consumption density is also increasing; and as the feature size of MOSFET devices is getting smaller and smaller, the short channel effect, GIDL (gate Drain leakage current) and other effects become serious, which further increases the off-state current. Therefore, the problem of power consumption is one of the main obstacles affecting the development of large-scale integrated circuit chips. [0003] Reducing device leakage is a direct means to reduce integrated circuit pow...
