Abstract
The present invention discloses a tunneling current amplification transistor, which relates to an area of field effect transistor logic devices in CMOS ultra large scale semiconductor integrated circuits (ULSI). The tunneling current amplification transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate dielectric layer, an emitter, a drain, a floating tunneling base and a control gate, wherein the drain, the floating tunneling base and the control gate forms a conventional TFET structure, and a doping type of the emitter is opposite to that of the floating tunneling base. A position of the emitter is at the other side of the floating tunneling base with respect to the drain. A type of the semiconductor between the emitter and the floating tunneling base is the same as that of the floating tunneling base. As compared with the conventional TFET, the tunneling current amplification transistor of the present invention can increase the on-current of the device effectively and increase the driving capability of the device.
