Impact of On-Current on the Static and Dynamic Performance of TFET Inverters

Concerning the innovations in architecture of tunnel-field effect transistor (TFET), the potential to achieve higher on-current increases. In respect thereof, the focus of this paper is on an optimized TFET with higher current flowing through its channel and simulating its static and dynamic behavior using a compact model. The scalability of the model allows to estimate the impact of an on-current improvement on the intrinsic speed and switching energy of TFET inverters through scaling their channel length and supply voltage.
