Prospects of Tunnel FETs in the Design of Power Management Circuits for Weak Energy Harvesting DC Sources

In this paper, a new tunnel FET (TFET)-based power management circuit (PMC) is proposed for weak dc energy harvesting sources. Thanks to their particular carrier injection mechanisms, TFETs can be used to design efficient energy harvesting circuits by enabling the power extraction from sources which...
