Abstract
Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETS) can reduce the subthreshold swing (SS) to below 60 mV/decade due to their conduction mechanism with band-to-band tunneling (BTBT), thereby reducing power consumption. T-shaped gate tunneling field-effect transistors (TGTFET) adapt double source and T-shaped gates to enhance the on-state current and to generate the tunneling probability. In this paper, TGTFET subjected to heavy-ion irradiation is studied by technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation for the first time. The results show that as the drain bias and linear energy transfer (LET) increase, the transient current and collected charge also increase. When LET = 100 MeV·cm2/mg and Vd = 0.5 V, the transient current of TGTFET is as high as 10.63 mA, which is much larger than the on-state current. This means that TGTFET is more sensitive to single-event effect (SEE) than FDSOI. By simulating a heavy-ion strike on different locations in TGTFET, the tunneling junction is the most sensitive region of SEE. This provides guidance for future research on the antiradiation application of TFET-based devices.
