Abstract

The Tunneling Field Effect Transistor (TFET) is fabricated using a 65nm standard CMOS process flow. The short-narrow TFET offers an on-current of 550/μA/μm which is comparable to the reference MOSFET device. Due to the integrated substrate/well contact the effective area of the TFET is smaller compared to the corresponding MOSFET. Thus, the size of a System-on-a-Chip design is reduced by more than 5%. The quantum-mechanical TFET is able to extend the epoch of the CMOS technology by showing reduced short channel effects and smaller leakage currents. A multi-threshold TFET device is proposed which does not need additional implantation steps. A 0.68μm2 6 transistor memory cell is fabricated using TFETs and MOSFETs showing the compatibility of MOSFET and TFET and a decrease of the memory array area of approximately 3%.
