Abstract
A tunneling field effect transistor device disclosed herein includes a substrate, a body comprised of a first semiconductor material being doped with a first type of dopant material positioned above the substrate, and a second semiconductor material positioned above at least a portion of the gate region and above the source region. The first semiconductor material is part of the drain region, and the second semiconductor material defines the channel region. The device also includes a third semiconductor material positioned above the second semiconductor material and above at least a portion of the gate region and above the source region. The third semiconductor material is part of the source region, and is doped with a second type of dopant material that is opposite to the first type of dopant material. A gate structure is positioned above the first, second and third semiconductor materials in the gate region.
