Strained Si and SiGe Nanowire Tunnel FETs for Logic and Analog Applications

Guided by the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation for band-to-band tunneling (BTBT), various performance boosters for Si TFETs are presented and experimentally verified. Along this line, improvements achieved by the implementation of uniaxial strain in nanowires (NW), the benefits of high-k/meta...
