Embodiment 1

[0033] This example is for Figure 4 The structure of the off-state current suppressing TFET device is shown as an example of an N-type TFET fabricated on a P-type substrate. The N-type buried layer is in contact with the PIN structure above, and the thickness of the N-type buried layer is not less than 200nm.

[0039] Figure 4 Although the shown N-type TFET structure can suppress the off-state current of the device, since the drain region is in contact with the buried layer, the parasitic capacitance of the drain increases, which is not conducive to the high-frequency characteristics of the device. It is modified to make it suitable for the high-frequency field, and the contact between the drain region and the buried layer of the N-type TFET is disconnected, and the area between the drain region and the buried layer is an intrinsic region, and at the same time, the buried layer is separately drawn out.

Abstract

The invention discloses a tunneling field effect transistor capable of suppressing off-state current, and belongs to the field of logic devices and circuits in the field of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits. Use the short connection between the N-type drain region or the P-type source region and the N-type epitaxial layer to share a high potential, so that the N-type buried layer and the N-type source region or P-type drain region, intrinsic region, and P-type substrate The formed PN junctions are all reverse-biased, and the result is to reduce the tunneling controlled by the drain voltage in the lower part of the original device source region. The leakage current at this time is mainly the reverse bias between the N-type epitaxial layer and the N-type source region or P-type drain region. PN junction current, which effectively reduces the off-state current of the tunneling field effect transistor in the case of small size. In addition, the buried layer can be replaced with a wide bandgap material, and avoid the introduction of two-dimensional electron gas or polarized charges by the material in contact with silicon. Then the reverse bias PN junction current will be further reduced. Therefore, tunneling from the drain to the intrinsic region is suppressed, so as to reduce the off-state current of the TFET.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of logic devices and circuits in the field of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, relates to a small-sized tunneling field effect transistor, and in particular to a longitudinal tunneling TFET device which overcomes the short-channel effect and reduces off-state current. technical background [0002] With the advancement of lithography, implantation and other process technologies, the integration of chips is getting higher and higher, and the power consumption density is also increasing; moreover, the feature size of MOSFET devices is getting smaller and smaller, and the short channel effect, GIDL (gate induced Drain leakage current) becomes severe, further increasing the off-state current. Therefore, the solution to the power consumption problem directly affects the improvement of chip integration. [0003] Finding a device structure with small leakage is the most direct way to solve the static power consumption ...
