Steep switching in trimmed-gate tunnel FET

We propose a tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) having a trimmed gate (TG) structure, which considerably improves the subthreshold swing (SS). The TG structure truncates the needless long band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) paths to a “channel”, which normally appear in a conventional TFET, and realize...
