Experimental comparison between pTFET and pFinFET under analog operation

Abstract

In this work, the analog performance of Tunnel FET and FinFET, which have a different principle of operation, is evaluated based on a comparison between them. This comparison is performed through the drain current behavior, the transconductance, the output conductance and the intrinsic voltage gain. Although the TFET devices present a smaller transconductance than the FinFET ones, the output behavior is strongly improved and results in a better performance of TFET devices when the focus is the intrinsic voltage gain. © The Electrochemical Society.
