TFET Fundamentals: A Gateway to Nanoscale Electronics Khuraijam Nelson Singh, Ningombam Ajit Kumar, Sushmita Dandeliya, Pranab Kishore Dutta, Sonal Agrawal, Anurag Srivastava, Gaurav Kaushal Nanoelectronics Fundamentals Advances and Applications, 2025 The scaling of conventional field-effect transistors is restricted by the fundamental limit of 60 mV/dec subthreshold swing (SS). In practical scenarios, the SS exceeds the fundamental limit, leading to higher leakage current during the OFF state. This limitation can be overcome using the tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET), whose charge transport is based on quantum tunneling and allows sub-60 mV/dec SS. Such features of TFETs enable faster switching speed, lower power dissipation in the OFF state, and lower short-channel effects (SCEs). So, this chapter discussed TFETs in detail to understand its fundamentals and various aspects. The chapter starts with an overview of TFET, including its evolution. The operation and characteristics of TFET are then discussed, highlighting techniques for enhancing its performance. The application of TFET as biosensors has also been included. Finally, the significance of TFET in advancing nanoscale electronics has been discussed, along with the challenges and future outlook.
Prospects of Negative-Capacitance Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistors in Low-Power Electronics and Beyond Ningombam Ajit Kumar, Khuraijam Nelson Singh, Sisira Hawaibam, Sushmita Dandeliya, Sonal Agrawal Handbook of Advanced Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors, 2025 The demand for compact, efficient, and low-power electronics has grown exponentially over the last few decades. However, conventional field-effect transistors (FETs) face subthreshold swing (SS) limitations. Thus, modern integrated circuits (ICs) with billions of transistors exhibit high overall power consumption. The negative-capacitance ferroelectric FET (NC-FeFET) is among the many transistor concepts devised to solve this issue. The NC-FeFET structure is realized by incorporating a ferroelectric material into the FET gate oxide. This modification amplifies the internal voltage near the device channel region, resulting in a steeper SS with a high I ON /I OFF ratio, thus reducing power consumption. In this chapter, the fundamentals of NC-FeFETs are discussed in detail. The first section introduces the NC-FeFET and discusses its evolution and operation. The chapter then discusses NC-FeFET modeling approaches, applications, performance optimization, and challenges. A comparative analysis of the NC-FeFET with other transistors is also presented. Finally, the chapter concludes with future prospects and research trends highlighting the possibilities of NC-FeFETs as future devices.
