Mechanisms of the performance enhancement by hetero - Gate dielectric in tunnel field - effect transistors

The hetero-gate dielectric (HGD) structure has recently been demonstrated experimentally

in tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) to enhance their electrical performance. In this

paper, we adequately examine the mechanisms that the HGD works to ameliorate the

electrical characteristics of TFETs. A typical bulk p-i-n TFET structure is used to exclude

the uncertain effects of body factors on the role of HGD. It is showed that the subthreshold

swing is improved by the presence of a conduction band well near the source/channel

junction, but the swing improvement is limited by the appearance of the hump effect when

the local potential well approaches the source. By analyzing the roles of dielectric

heterojunctions at source- and channel-sides separately, it is found that the on-current

enhanced by the source-side heterojunction is about 5 times larger than by the channel-side

one. The reason is that the source-side heterojunction directly modulates the on-state tunnel

width, whereas the channel-side heterojunction indirectly affects the on-current through

modulating the subthreshold-state tunnel width. Exactly understanding the mechanisms of

the performance enhancement by HGD is important in studying the optimal design of HGDTFETs.

Tóm tắt 
Cấu trúc điện môi cực cổng dị chất (HGD) gần đây đã được chứng minh bằng thực nghiệm 
trong các transistor trường xuyên hầm (TFET) để nâng cao đặc tính điện của chúng. Trong 
bài báo này, chúng tôi nghiên cứu chi tiết các cơ chế giúp cho điện môi cực cổng dị chất có 
thể cải thiện đặc tính điện của TFET. Cấu trúc p-i-n TFET khối đặc trưng được sử dụng để 
loại trừ những ảnh hưởng không xác định của các yếu tố thân linh kiện đến vai trò của HGD. 
Nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng độ dốc dưới ngưỡng được cải thiện nhờ sự có mặt của một hố thế 
định xứ gần chuyển tiếp nguồn/kênh, nhưng sự cải thiện này bị giới hạn bởi sự xuất hiện của 
hiệu ứng bướu khi hố thế này tiến gần tới cực nguồn. Bằng việc phân tích vai trò của các 
chuyển tiếp dị chất phía nguồn và kênh một cách riêng rẽ, nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng dòng mở 
được tăng lên nhờ chuyển tiếp dị chất phía nguồn lớn hơn khoảng 5 lần nhờ chuyển tiếp dị 
chất phía kênh. Nguyên nhân là do chuyển tiếp dị chất phía nguồn hiệu chỉnh trực tiếp độ 
rộng xuyên hầm ở trạng thái mở, trong khi chuyển tiếp dị chất phía kênh chỉ ảnh hưởng gián 
tiếp tới dòng mở thông qua hiệu chỉnh độ rộng xuyên hầm ở trạng thái dưới ngưỡng. Việc 
hiểu chính xác các cơ chế làm nâng cao đặc tính hoạt động của TFET nhờ cấu trúc HGD là 
rất quan trọng trong quá trình thiết kế tối ưu cho các TFET có điện môi cực cổng dị chất. 
Từ khóa: Điện môi cực cổng dị chất; chất cách điện có độ điện thẩm cao; xuyên hầm qua

1. INTRODUCTION 
Traditional metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have 
exhibited the unsuitability for use in ultra-low power applications since they are subjected 
to the physical limit of 60 mV/decade subthreshold swing at room temperature 
(International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, 2015). To overcome this 
fundamental limit of MOSFETs, one has proposed tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) 
whose steep on-off switching with sub-60 mV/decade subthreshold swing has been 
experimentally demonstrated (Appenzeller et al., 2004; Choi et al., 2007). Other 
significant advantages of TFETs over MOSFETs are small power dissipation (Koswatta 
et al., 2009) and high dimensional scalability (Bardon et al., 2010). However, the band-
to-band tunneling, which makes the breakthrough of the kT/q limit, is also responsible for 
low on-current in TFETs because the tunneling probability is relatively small (Seabaugh 
& Zhang, 2010). Therefore, enhancing on-current has become the most challenge of 
TFET devices and attracted much attention since the last 2000s. 
In order to enhance the conduction current of TFETs, many methods relating to 
both material and structure techniques have been proposed to reduce the tunnel barrier 
and/or to increase the tunneling area at on-state (Nayfeh et al., 2009; Kao et al., 2012; 
Chien et al., 2013). Since the tunneling probability is exponentially increased with 
decreasing the height of tunnel barrier, using low-bandgap materials has been realized as 
one of most effective techniques to boost the on-current (Nayfeh et al., 2009). In the other 
hand, because of the same dependences of the tunneling probability on the width and the 
height of tunnel barrier, narrowing the tunnel barrier has always be concerned largely. 
While the tunnel barrier height is basically determined by the material bandgap, there are 
so many factors that affect the tunnel barrier width such as source/drain doping profile 
(Chien & Shih, 2017), gate insulator and spacer (Choi et al., 2016), gate materials (Noor 
et al., 2017), body thickn ... G ĐẠI HỌC ĐÀ LẠT NĂM 2018

in the Xch=8nm TFET are respectively large and low (lower than 0.1 pA/µm). This is 
because electrons tunnel to the outside of the well if Vgs ≤ Vhump and to the inside of the 
well if Vgs > Vhump. As a result, the hump effect is clearly observed in the Xch=4nm TFET. 
The shorter the Xch, the more severe the hump effect is. The hump effect, which 
deteriorates the subthreshold swing and associated on-current, occurs because the 
conduction band well is moved down to low potential region near the source, but not by 
the shallowing of the well. 
If the on-current is determined at the gate voltage of 0.7 V (= Vdd) higher than the 
onset voltage (Vonset), i.e., a constant value of (Vgs – Vonset), a decrease in subthreshold 
swing indirectly results in an increase in on-current and vice versa. It is noted that Vonset 
is defined as the gate voltage when the drain current is 0.1 pA/µm. Because there are two 
opposite variation trends of subthreshold swing when the Xch is decreased, there exits an 
optimal Xch to minimize the subthreshold swing and maximize the on-current as shown 
by Choi et al. (2010). To evaluate how much the on-current is enhanced and what is the 
optimal length of Xch in the p-i-n TFET with a typical bulk structure, Figure 5(a) presents 
the on-current as a function of the source-side heterojunction position (Xch). The plot 
shows that the on-current is maximized at Xch = 8 nm and 22% greater than that of the 
high-k only TFET (compared to 6 nm and 30 %, respectively, as reported by Choi et al. 
(2010), but they used the SOI structure and Vdd = 1 V). To explain the decrease of 
subthreshold swing with decreasing Xch ( ≥ 8 nm), Figure 5(b) shows the energy-band 
diagrams at onset state of the HGD-TFETs with different Xch. Before reaching to the onset 
state, the tunnel widths in the two devices are large and the tunneling currents are lower 
than the background off-current. When going to the onset state, the tunnel widths are 
abruptly decreased. As shown in the figure, however, the tunnel width is shorter, the 
abruptness is higher and thus the subthreshold swing is smaller in the Xch=8nm than in 
the Xch=20nm TFET.

5. ON-CURRENT ENHANCEMENT 
As shown in previous section, properly designing the position of channel-side 
heterojunction (Xch) in HGD-TFETs can ameliorate the device on-current. However, the 
on-current enhancement by optimizing Xch is relatively limited because (1) the on-current 
is indirectly enhanced through the decrease of subthreshold swing and (2) the channel-
side heterojunction has to be kept far enough from the source/channel junction, where the 
on-state tunneling occurs, to avoid the hump effect. It is inferred from this reasoning that 
the on-current may be more significantly enhanced by optimally designing the source-
side dielectric heterojunction which is close to the source doping junction.

function of Xsh 
Figure 6(a) depicts the gate transfer characteristics of HGD-TFETs with three 
different positions of the source-side heterojunctions. To avoid the uncertain effects of 
the channel-side heterojunction position on the device characteristics, the large value of 
Xch = 50 nm is fixed in this investigation. It is seen that the position of source-side 
heterojunction does not impact the subthreshold swing noticeably, but directly influences 
the on-state current of HGD-TFETs. In these three cases, the on-current is highest when 
the heterojunction and doping junction are exactly aligned (Xsh = 0) and lower than the 
maximum one for two remaining cases (Xsh = 4 and 4 nm). To inspect more details about 
the optimization of source-side heterojunction, figure 6(b) shows the on-current of HGD-
TFETs as a function of source-side heterojunction position (Xsh). Interestingly, the on-
current is maximized at Xsh = 1 nm but not 0 nm as normally predicted. Decreasing or 
increasing Xsh also results in decreasing the on-current; however, the on-current 
degradation is more serious for the positive than for the negative side. On the negative 
side, the on-current is saturated when Xsh ≤ 5 nm at the current level that is same as that 
of the high-k only TFET. So, by introducing and designing the source-side heterojunction 
appropriately, the on-current is significantly enhanced, namely 100% greater that of the 
HGD-TFET without source-side dielectric heterojunction.

The rapid degradation of the on-current on the positive side of Xsh is simply 
because expanding the low-k dielectric on the channel-side results in weakening the gate 
control on the source/channel junction. Therefore, the tunnel width is significantly 
increased with lengthening Xsh, as seen in Figure 7(a) in which the on-state energy-band 
diagrams of HGD-TFETs with Xsh = 1 and 4 nm are drawn. For the negative side of Xsh, 
Choi et al. (2016) has claimed that the decrease of on-current with negatively increasing 
the Xsh is attributed solely to the increase in the coupling between the gate and source 
regions. The strong coupling reduces the electric field at the source/channel junction, or 
equivalently increases the tunnel width as compared in figure 7(a) between the energy-
band diagrams with Xsh = 4 and 1 nm. However, if only looking at the electric field or 
the tunnel width, we cannot understand why the on-current of the Xsh= 4nm TFET is 
higher than that of the Xsh=4nm counterpart whereas the tunnel width is larger in the 
Xsh= 4nm than in the Xsh=4nm TFET. It suggests that there must be other mechanism 
that has not been realized previously to explain for this inconsistency. Figure 7(b) shows 
the contours of BTBT generation rates at on-state in the HGD-TFETs with Xsh = 4 and 
4 nm. The tunneling area is considerably larger in the Xsh= 4nm than in the Xsh=4nm 
TFET, which explains properly for the difference in their on-currents. The large tunneling 
area in the Xsh= 4nm device is due to the lateral extension of the tunneling into the source. 
The extended area can only be the line-tunneling, i.e., electrons perform band-to-band 
tunneling in the vertical direction. The line-tunneling is triggered because the strong 
coupling between the gate and the source bends the source energy-bands largely to open 
up a vertical tunneling window. Although the tunneling area is larger, but the tunneling 
rate is much smaller, the on-current of the Xsh= 4nm TFET is still lower than that of the 
Xsh= 1nm TFET.

6. CONCLUSION 
By using two-dimensional numerical simulations, the device physics of HGD-
TFETs has been explored to achieve an adequate understanding on the mechanisms of 
how the TFET performance is enhanced by the HGD. The suppression of detrimental 
hump effect, which emerges in HGD-TFETs with a short high-k layer, is expected to 
exploit the benefit of HGD effectively. In addition, the source-side heterojunction has to 
be more carefully designed and fabricated because the on-current of HGD-TFETs is more 
sensitive on the position of the source- than on the channel-side heterojunction.
