Impact of Source Height on the Characteristic of U-shaped Channel Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor

Cited 8|Views5

Abstract

Tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is very attractive in replacing a MOSFET, particularly for low-power nanoelectronic circuits. The U-shaped channel TFET (U-TFET) was proposed to improve the drain-source current with a reduced footprint. In this work, the impact of the source height (Hs) on the characteristic of the U-shaped channel tunnel field-effect transistor (U-TFET) is investigated by using TCAD simulation. It is found that with a fixed gate height (HG) the drain-source current has a negative correlation with Hs. This is because when the gate region is deeper than the source region, the electric field near the corner of the tunneling junction can be enhanced and the tunneling rate is increased. When Hs becomes very thin, the drain-source current is limited by the source region volume. The U-TFET with an n+ pocket is also studied and the same trend is observed. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
