Present study proposes a biosensor built around heterojunction electrically doped junctionless TFET to obtain label-free biomolecule surveillance to lower fabrication sophistication and expense of nanotechnology biosensors. Dielectric constants of different immobilized biomolecules in interior of nano cavity are changed to determine shift in ambipolar current, perceived as sensing variable. In suggested device, polarity gate-1 (PG-1) bias of 1.2 V and PG-2 bias of-1.2 V, is applied across heterojunction to stimulate n+ and p+, drain and source, correspondingly. Portion of dielectric oxide layer is etched towards drain channel tunnelling intersection to create nanogap cavity underneath PG-1 terminal, used to trap biomolecule test specimens. Presence of neutral and charged molecules inside cavities have been examined through modifications to electrical properties of suggested biosensor, including electric field, drain current, etc. Subthreshold swing, drain current, threshold voltage, switching ratio, and transconductance-tocurrent ratio are used to assess suggested biosensor's sensing capability. Suggested HJ-CD-ED-JLTFET biosensor, employing a neutral biomolecule having a dielectric constant of 12, reaches absolute maximum sensitivity of 3.86 x 109 assuming a fully packed nanocavity. To comprehend potential difficulties, implications of non-ideal problems on sensitivity, such as various fill factors (FFs), locations of biomolecules and steric hindrances, are investigated for suggested biosensor.
Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) offer promising subthreshold characteristics and low leakage currents for ultra-low-power applications, yet suffer from inherently low ON-state current (I-ON) and susceptibility to process-induced reliability issues. This work proposes a magnesium silicide-based electrostatically doped TFET (Mg2Si-ED-TFET), utilizing the narrow bandgap and high carrier mobility of Mg2Si to enhance band-to-band tunneling probability. A rigorous reliability analysis is performed by introducing interface trap densities in the range of 10(11)-10(12) cm(-2) at the Si/SiO2 interface, with both donor- and acceptor-like charge polarities. The traps induce shifts in flat-band voltage and alter the electric field distribution, affecting the tunneling junction and subthreshold swing. Simulation results demonstrate that the Mg2Si-ED-TFET sustains a stable I-ON/I-OFF ratio and exhibits minimal threshold voltage shift under trap influence, outperforming conventional ED-TFET counterparts. These findings highlight the device's robustness against interface-induced degradation, confirming its suitability for next-generation, reliable, and energy-efficient nanoelectronic circuits.
An abrupt tunnelling intersection needs to exist for a TFET (tunnel field effect transistor) to operate with outstanding electronic and switching capabilities. Additionally, reliability challenges resulting from trap charges created during TFET manufacturing need to be addressed for TFET design. This study examines the dependability of the suggested DGO (dual gate oxide) Tunnel FET centred around bilateral tunnelling (BT-TFET) incorporating low work-function metal strip (LWMS) for the first time. Sharp tunnelling interface at the channel and source conjunction is generated by administering LWMS in the dielectric with high-k region near the source, thereby benefitting threshold voltage (Vth) and subthreshold swing (SS). Furthermore, the gate dielectric's dual oxide promotes the capacitance interaction involving the gate and the dielectric, strengthening the device's quality and dependability features. The recommended LWMS-DGO-BT-TFET demonstrates a diminished Vth of 0.6 V, a superior ON to OFF state current proportion of 1013, and a dropped SS of 14.7 mV/decade. The dependability of the suggested device has been investigated by assessing the repercussions of positive as well as negative traps on various metrics such as static or DC, RF/analogue performance statistics, consisting of electric field, transfer metrics, transconductance (gm), and so forth, of the suggested LWMS-DGO-BT-TFET and the original single gate oxide bilateral tunnelling TFET incorporating LWMS (LWMS-SGO-BT-TFET). Beyond that, contrasting evaluation of both of these designs was additionally conducted with respect to distortion statistics comprising third-order voltage intercept point (VIP3), second-order and third-order transconductance coefficients. Research has shown that positive traps lift the ON-current of the suggested design by 7.38
This work presents an in-depth analysis of a newly proposed electrostatically doped magnesium silicide Tunnel FET (ES-Mg2Si-TFET), developed to overcome key limitations in traditional TFET architectures. Conventional designs suffer from inadequate ON-state current (ION) and sensitivity to random dopant fluctuations, both of which hinder their viability in ultra-low power electronics. To address these constraints, the ES-Mg2Si-TFET leverages a dual strategy involving dielectric modulation and source region optimization. Numerical simulations reveal a substantial enhancement in device performance, with ION increased by nearly five orders of magnitude and subthreshold swing (SS) improved by 89% relative to conventional counterparts. Furthermore, the influence of interface trap charges (ITCs) on device stability is thoroughly investigated. Results show that the ES-Mg2Si-TFET maintains better immunity to ITC-induced flat-band voltage shifts compared to standard electrostatically doped TFETs. These advancements in both static and analog/RF figures of merit under low-voltage conditions establish the ES-Mg2Si-TFET as a strong contender for future energy-efficient integrated systems.
In today’s semiconductor industry, enhancing Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) device performance is crucial. To address challenges related to ON current, ambipolar conduction, subthreshold slope, and transconductance, we propose a junctionless TFET design based on the charge plasma concept. This design incorporates platinum (5.93 eV) for the source and tungsten (4.7 eV) for the gate, with the device structure divided into the drain-channel region and the source region. Our comprehensive evaluation includes materials from III-V and IV groups, examining various compounds to assess their efficiency, reliability, and robustness within the device. Our findings indicate that germanium (Ge) is the optimal source material, while silicon (Si) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) show promise for the drain-channel region when used in conjunction with Ge. Additionally, we investigate the effects of temperature and interface trap charges on these materials. This involves analyzing various figures of merit (FOM) across a temperature range of 250 K to 400 K and trap charge densities from N_f = ± 1 × 10^12 cm^-2 . This detailed analysis provides valuable insights into the performance of materials under various conditions. By expanding our focus beyond traditional silicon to include III-V compounds and 2D materials, we anticipate significant advancements in the efficiency of TFETs, particularly for ultra-low-power applications.
Lead toxicity in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) presents a major challenge for their broader commercialization. The leading organic hole transport layer (HTL) material, spiro-OMeTAD, is costly due to its complex synthesis process. This research involves a comprehensive device simulation of inorganic RbGeI3-based PSCs, examining various copper-based materials for the HTL, such as copper barium thiostannate (CBTS), copper iron tin sulfide (CFTS), Cu2O, CuI, CuO, CuCrO2, CuInSe2, and CuSCN, using the SCAPS-1D simulator.

The main goal of this research is to optimize critical design parameters to improve the efficiency of solar cell power conversion. The parametric analysis shows significant performance enhancements, with the optimized device achieving short-circuit current density (J(sc)) of 33.90 mA/cm(2), open-circuit voltage (V-oc) of 0.815 V, a fill factor (FF) of 80.93%, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.36%.
Fabrication complexity, low ON-current, and reliability challenges are significant concerns for Tunnel FETs in the semiconductor industry. This study addresses these issues by conducting systematic numerical simulations to introduce a novel N+-based Magnesium Silicide tunneling interface (Mg2Si-N+-TFET). Utilizing Mg2Si in the source region enhances key figures of merit (FOMs), such as ON-current, VTH, SS, and the switching ratio, due to its low bandgap, which reduces the tunneling barrier. To optimize the device for low-power and high-speed applications, it is essential to assess its reliability under various constraints. Consequently, this study evaluates the Mg2Si-N+-TFET thermal performance over a temperature range of 250 K to 450 K and exhibits less sensitivity, making it a promising candidate for low-power switching and biosensing applications, even at elevated temperatures.
In this work, a novel heterojunction dual gate-oxide (DGO) tunnel field effect transistor predicated on concept of bilateral tunnelling (BT-TFET) is being suggested and extensively tested for reliability. Significant improvement in some of the crucial parameters is shown by the proposed device in nanometre framework TFETs. The suggested device shows boosted switching ratio (1012), lower threshold voltage (Vth) (0.6 V) and subthreshold swing (SS) (18.5 mV decade-1), respectively, owed to bandgap engineering implemented in the suggested structure. Additionally, dual oxide is incorporated into the gate dielectric, elevating the capacitive coupling across the dielectric and gate resulting in improved device performance and dependability. Both the recommended heterojunction DGO-BT-TFET and the typical heterojunction SGO (single gate oxide) BT-TFET have been compared for reliability, considering negative/positive trapped charges in the context of static (DC), RF/analogue parameters, energy, power, distortion metrics including energy band-gap, higher-order transconductance, and output, transfer parameters, among others. According to the study, proposed TFET displays higher immunity to performance fluctuation than DGO-BT-TFET and heterojunction SGO-BT-TFET for different trap charges.
To enhance the device’s DC and analog/radio frequency performance characteristics, we explored dual oxide (DO) structure on charge plasma-based junctionless tunnel FET and termed it DO-CP-JL-TFET in this work. This method involves the segmentation of the oxide layer into two distinct sections, namely SiO 2 and HfO 2 . The dual oxide (DO) enhances the capacitive coupling across the gate-channel area while reducing the width of the tunneling barrier at the channel-source area. This results in an increase in the tunneling current which improves ON current, subthreshold slope (SS), and other parameters. The aforementioned provisional outcomes were achieved with the SILVACO ATLAS TCAD. In addition, the oxide thickness of the device has been tuned to select the most efficient tunneling. Therefore, the suggested device has minimal power consumption within circuits and can exhibit better performance at high frequencies.
This paper introduces a novel GaAs/GaSb polarity-controlled tunnel field-effect transistor (GaAs/GaSb PC-TFET)-based biosensor with high sensitivity for label-free biomolecule detection. The polarity-controlled concept is employed to create the drain/source region in the proposed structure, reducing fabrication complexity and cost. The electrical characteristics (drain current and threshold voltage) of the GaAs/GaSb PC-TFET biosensor change as different biomolecules are immobilized in the nano-cavity region. This study thoroughly investigates the ON-current sensitivity (S _I_ON ) and threshold voltage sensitivity (S _V_Th ) parameters of the proposed GaAs/GaSb PC-TFET biosensor. Findings indicate that the GaAs/GaSb PC-TFET biosensor exhibits higher S _I_ON and S _V_Th values ( 1.53× 10^14 and 0.79) as compared to recently reported similar FET/TFET-based biosensors. The efficiency of the proposed biosensor is further examined by studying the impact of the molecule’s charge density, non-ideality (steric hindrance and different fill factors), variation in cavity dimensions, temperature shifts, and noise on sensitivity. Additionally, selectivity, linearity, and transient response are analyzed to validate the proposed GaAs/GaSb PC-TFET biosensor’s abilities. The assessment of all investigated results reveals that the proposed GaAs/GaSb PC-TFET biosensor is a promising candidate for biosensing applications.
Nowadays, reliability towards the interface trap charges of the semiconductor device is a major grave concern. Therefore, we introduce, for the first time, a theoretical investigation of mole fraction-based dual material stack gate oxide pocket-doped heterojunction tunnel field-effect transistor (DM-SGO-PD-HTFET) considering ideal conditions for reliability issues. A stacked gate oxide is employed in the proposed device to reduce leakage current. Moreover, a dual material gate (M1 = M3 and M2) is implemented at the gate electrode, with work functions (ϕ1=ϕ3 = 4.0 eV) and (ϕ2 = 4.4 eV), and a mole fraction-based hetero material Si1−XGeX is used at the source-side region to enhance tunneling current. The mole fraction value (X) is varied to optimize device performance. Furthermore, an N+ pocket-doped layer at the source channel interface is incorporated to further enhance the tunneling current. Additionally, trap charges at the oxide–semiconductor interface are generated during the fabrication process degrading the device’s performance. For this, we have considered donor (positive) and acceptor (negative) interface trap charges (ITCs) at the semiconductor/insulator interface to investigate the performance of the device in terms of DC, analog/radio frequency, linearity, and harmonic distortion performance parameters using Silvaco ATLAS device simulator. A comparative analysis has been performed between the proposed and conventional device structures with similar dimensions except N+ pocket doped layer. In this context, various performance metrics are examined, including the carrier concentration profile, energy band variation, tunneling rate, current density, transfer characteristics, transconductance, gain-bandwidth product, transit time, unity gain frequency, as well as figures of merit related to linearity. These linearity figures include the third-order transconductance coefficient (gm3), second and third-order voltage intercept points (VIP2, VIP3), third-order intermodulation distortion, input intercept point parameters (IMD3, IIP3), and harmonic distortion performance parameters such as second-order, third-order, and total harmonic distortions (i.e., HD2, HD3, and THD). Simulated results demonstrate that DM-SGO-PD-HTFET is more immune towards various types of ITCs compared to conventional DM-SGO-HTFET. Therefore, DM-SGO-PD-HTFET is more reliable than the conventional device for ultra-low-power applications.
Linearity and intermodulation distortion are very crucial parameters for RFICs design. Therefore, in this work, a detailed comparative analysis on linearity and intermodulation distortion of single metal (SMG) and double metal (DMG) double gate junction less transistor (JLT) is done using TCAD silvaco suite. Furthermore, the effects of temperature fluctuation, gate length variation, and gate material engineering on the linearity performance of both devices are also studied. A few significant figures of merit, including Voltage Intercept Point 2 (VIP2), Voltage Intercept Point 3 (VIP3), Third Order Intercept Power (IIP3), 1 dB Compression Point (P1dB), Third Order Intermodulation Distortion (IMD3), and the transconductance derivative parameters First Order Transconductance (gm1), Second Order Transconductance (gm2), and Third Order Transconductance (gm3) are used to assess the device linearity and intermodulation distortion of SMG and DMG JLT’s. The findings show that higher VIP2, VIP3, IIP3, 1-dB compression point and lower gm3, IMD3 values are obtained for the SMG JLT device when compared to its counterpart DMG JLT. SMG JLT, which assures strong linearity and low distortion.
The fabrication complexity and cost associated with nanoscale devices are major concerns. Therefore, to address these challenges, we have introduced a mole fraction-based approach for the sensitivity analysis of a dual material control gate cavity on a source electrically doped polarity-controlled tunnel field effect transistor (DMCG-CS-ED-PC-TFET)-based biosensor for label-free detection of biomolecule species. For this purpose, a polarity bias (electrically doped) of PG-1 = +1.2V and PG-2 = -1.2V is applied for the formation of n+ drain and p+ source regions, respectively, over the thin silicon body. The proposed device structure overcomes the random dopant fluctuation issues, thereby avoiding thermal budget and fabrication complexity as compared to the conventional TFET. Moreover, the nanogap cavity is created by etching the appropriate portion at the source side oxide layer. Furthermore, we have applied a dual metal work function (M1 and M2) at the gate electrode along with hetero material Si1-XGeX at the source side region to improve the sensitivity of the device by varying the mole fraction value (X). The performance of the proposed device has been evaluated in terms of variations in carrier concentration profile, electric field variation, energy band diagram, transfer (IDS - VGS) characteristics and the sensitivity in terms of drain current (IDS), ON-state current (I-ON) and switching ratio (I-ON/I-OFF). Furthermore, the sensitivity of the proposed device biosensor has been investigated by considering nanocavity dimensions, practical challenges such as various fill factors, and various step profiles generated from steric hindrance. For this purpose, different neutral biomolecules such as Biotin (k = 2.63), APTES (k = 3.57), Keratin (k = 8), Ferrocytochrome C (k = 4.7) and Gelatin (k = 12) have been considered in the etched nanocavity region. Additionally, charged biomolecules with positive (negative) charge densities at the oxide semiconductor interface below the nanocavity region have been incorporated to assess the performance of the proposed device using the Silvaco ATLAS device simulator. In this analysis, the proposed biosensor achieves a drain current sensitivity of 5.65 x 10(10) for neutral biomolecules (k = 12), 6.2 x 10(10) for rho = 1 x 10(12) cm(-2) with k = 12 and 1.2 x 10(11) for rho = - 1 x 10(12) cm(-2) and k = 12. Finally, the performance of the proposed biosensor, DMCG-CS-ED-PC-TFET, exhibits higher sensitivity compared to various existing TFET-based biosensors. Hence, the proposed biosensor exhibits the potential candidate for the development of future sensing bio-equipment.
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Co-ronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic has raised significant public health concerns due to its rapid global spread. Currently, there are no effective treatments or vaccines available for SARS-CoV-2, making early detection essential for controlling outbreaks and reducing casualty rates. This study presents a feasibility assessment of a GaAs/Ge Polarity Controlled Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor (GaAs/Ge PC-TFET)-based biosensor designed for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2. The proposed GaAs/Ge PC-TFET biosensor detects SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples by determining the equivalent dielectric constants (k) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S-protein) and DNA. The sensor’s electrical properties change significantly when SARS-CoV-2 is immobilized within its nano-cavity region. The sensitivity of the GaAs/Ge PC-TFET biosensor is evaluated in terms of drain current (IDS), threshold voltage (VTh), subthreshold slope (SS), and the ON/OFF-current (ION/IOFF) ratio, with respect to the k-value and charge density ( ρ ) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Additionally, this study analyzes the biosensor’s performance considering non-ideal immobilization issues, thermal drift, and environmental noise. Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) software was employed for the implementation and simulation of the proposed GaAs/Ge PC-TFET biosensor. Ultimately, the proposed GaAs/Ge PC-TFET biosensor holds promise as a diagnostic device for the quick and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 from patient saliva samples.
This paper proposes a novel polarity-control junctionless tunnel field-effect transistor (PC-JL-TFET)-based biosensor for the label-free detection of biomolecule species in efficient ways. Unlike conventional designs, the polarity-control concept induces the generation of drain (n(+)) and source (p(+)) regions inside the proposed structure when a bias of (-/+) 1.2V is applied at the polarity gates-1/2 (PG-1/2), to form a conventional TFET. To capture the biomolecules, a nano-cavity is created within the source region's dielectric oxide toward the tunneling interface. The presence of biomolecules is electronically detected based on either solely the dielectric constant (neutral biomolecules) or the combination of charge density and dielectric constant (charged biomolecules). The proposed device can perform label-free recognition of biomolecules such as Uricase, Keratin, Biotin, Streptavidin and so on. To investigate the sensing performance of the proposed biosensor, significant biosensing metrics such as the electric field, energy band diagram, tunneling current, subthreshold slope, I-ON/I-OFF ratio and threshold voltage have been studied. The proposed PC-JL-TFET biosensor achieves a maximum sensitivity of 5.31 x 10(10) for neutral biomolecules with a dielectric constant of 12 and 1.11 x 10(10) for negatively charged biomolecules (-1 x 10(12)C/cm(2)) with a dielectric constant of 8. The proposed biosensor's selectivity, linearity and temperature-based analysis have also been evaluated for different biomolecules. Additionally, real-time practical scenarios, such as partially filled nano-cavities and the random position of biomolecules in the nano-cavity-based analysis, have also been incorporated.
The fabrication complexity, ambipolar current conduction (Iambi), inferior ON-state current (Ion), and poor analog/RF performance are major limitations of conventional tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs). To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach utilizing hetero-material (HM) and metal-strip (MS) technology to develop an electrically doped junctionless TFET (HM-MS-ED-JL-TFET). Utilizing work function engineering (4.72 eV) at the control gate (CG) establishes an intrinsic region along the channel, while a combination of work function engineering (4.72 eV) and a polarity bias (electrically doped) of PG = -1.2 V at the polarity gate (PG) induces a P+ region across the source, forming an N+-i-P+ structure over the thin N+-N+-N+ silicon body. This approach effectively mitigates concerns regarding random dopant fluctuations (RDF) without necessitating a thermal budget, streamlining fabrication compared to conventional TFETs. Furthermore, the integration of hetero-material into the source region narrows the tunneling barrier width, enhancing band-to-band tunneling at the source-channel interface and improving critical metrics such as ON-state current (Ion), subthreshold slope (SS), transconductance (gm), and cut-off frequency (fT). Concurrently, the inclusion of a metal strip at the drain-channel region raises the energy band and suppresses the ambipolar current. To optimize device performance, a comprehensive optimization phase involving material selection, length, and work function tuning of the metal strip is incorporated. Additionally, reliability concerns arising from interface trap charges (ITCs) at the oxide-semiconductor interface during fabrication are investigated. Through extensive simulations utilizing the Silvaco ATLAS device simulator, we demonstrate the enhanced immunity of the HM-MS-ED-JLTFET to various ITCs, rendering it more reliable for ultra-low-power and high-frequency applications compared to conventional counterparts like ED-JLTFET and MS-ED-JLTFET.
The fabrication complexity, leakage current, low-power operation, and cost of nano-scale devices are major concerns. To address these challenges, we propose a dual oxide-based approach to enhance the performance of the dual oxide electrically doped junction-less tunnel field-effect transistor (DO-ED-JL-TFET). For this purpose, the oxide layer ( T_ox ) is vertically segmented into two sections. The lower section comprises SiO_2 (low-K dielectric), while the upper section incorporates HfO_2 (high-K dielectric). This segmentation enhances the capacitive coupling between the gate and channel area, resulting in a reduced tunneling width near the source-channel region. Moreover, a polarity gate bias (electrically doped) of PG = -1.2 V is applied to create a P ^+ source region over the thin silicon body. The proposed device addresses challenges such as random dopant fluctuation, thermal budget, and fabrication complexity issues compared to conventional TFETs. The performance of the proposed device has been assessed in terms of variations in carrier concentrations, electric field, energy band diagram, transfer (I _ds - V _gs ) characteristics, subthreshold swing (SS), and switching ratio (I _on /I _off ). Moreover, analog/RF performance parameters such as transconductance (g _m ), cutoff frequency (f _T ), and gain bandwidth product (GBP) are also analyzed and compared with conventional ED-JL-TFET. Furthermore, the impact of trap charges at the oxide-semiconductor interface on device performance is investigated for reliability. Simulated results demonstrate that DO-ED-JL-TFET exhibits greater immunity to various types of ITCs compared to conventional ED-JL-TFET, making it a more reliable choice for applications in radioactive environments.
To reduce the fabrication complexity and cost of nanoscale biosensors, a novel electrically doped concept is proposed for the first time, aiming to implement a dielectric-modulated junctionless tunnel field-effect transistor (DM-ED-JLTFET) for label-free biomolecule detection. The n+ drain and p+ source regions in the proposed device are induced by applying a bias of polarity gate-1 (PG-1) = +1.2 V and PG-2 = -1.2 V, respectively, over the ultrathin silicon body. A nanogap cavity beneath the PG-2 terminal is formed by etching a part of the dielectric oxide layer toward the tunneling interface to capture the biomolecule test sample. The existence of neutral and charged molecules in the cavities has been investigated using changes in the electrical characteristics of the proposed biosensor, such as drain current, energy band, and electric field. The sensing performance of the proposed biosensor is evaluated in terms of drain current (I-DS), subthreshold swing (SS), threshold voltage ( V-Th ), switching ratio (I-ON/I-OFF), and transconductance-to-current ratio ( g(m)/I-DS). The proposed DM-ED-JLTFET biosensor achieves a maximum sensitivity of {5.58} x 10(10) with a fully filled nanogap for a neutral biomolecule with a dielectric constant of 12. The effects of non-ideal issues on sensitivity, such as different fill factors (FFs) and steric hindrances, are also studied of the proposed biosensor to understand the practical challenges.
To address the low ON-current and reliability issues of dopant-free TFETs, we have incorporated a metal-layer near the source/channel (S/C) interface. The use of this metal layer facilitates a larger flow of electrons near the junction, which helps the ON-current (I-ON) exceed 10-4 A/mu m under lower biasing conditions. This enhancement in I-ON improves various performance metrics in analog, RF, and linearity applications. Furthermore to assess dependability, we analyzed the impact of acceptor and donor charges on the DL-MSTFET, focusing on trap effects near interface (ITCs). The results reveal that the presence of these trap charges significantly affects the flat-band voltage, leading to reduced variations in the performance of DL-MS-TFETs. Furthermore, we observed the influence of the metal strip work function on DC performance characteristics. A noticeable decrease in ON-current was found as the metal layer work function increased. Overall, the MSdopant-free TFET demonstrates superior performance in the presence of ITCs, making it suitable for low-voltage and analog-RF applications.
