The source region and the drain region are separately-placed from the corresponding side faces of the gate electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described herein relate generally to field effect transistors. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a field effect transistor (FET) having a sharp subthreshold slope characteristic such as a tunnel field effect transistor (hereinafter also referred to as TFET) has a type in which source / drain regions have mutually different conductivity types (p + -i-n + ) asymmetric source / drain structure. In this asymmetric source / drain structure, the source, channel and drain regions are formed by p-i-n junctions formed by ion implantation. BTBT (Band To Band Tunneling) in the source junction determines the current drive capability. Therefore, in order to improve the driving current, the tunnel barrier needs to be thinned to 1nm~3nm by forming a high doping concentration junction with a sharp profile in the source junction. [0003] Meanwhile, the off-leak current is determined by the BTBT in the drain junction. Therefore, in a device desig...
