Abstract

A continuous, analytic I-V model is developed for double-gate and nanowire tunnel FETs with 3D density of states, including depletion in the source. At the core of the model is a gate-controlled channel potential that satisfies the source and drain boundary conditions. Verified by numerical simulations, the model is able to generateIds-Vgs characteristics for any given staggered bandgap and channel length. Ids-Vds characteristics are also generated by building into the model the de-biasing effect of channel charge in the linear region. It is predictive in the sense that there are no ad hoc fitting parameters.
