Strip-shaped gate-modulated tunneling field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof

Abstract

The present invention discloses a strip-shaped gate-modulated tunneling field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof, belonging to a field of field effect transistor logic device and the circuit in CMOS ultra large scale integrated circuit (ULSI). The tunneling field effect transistor includes a control gate, a gate dielectric layer, a semiconductor substrate, a highly-doped source region and a highly-doped drain region, where the highly-doped source region and the highly-doped drain region lie on both sides of the control gate, respectively, the control gate has a strip-shaped structure with a gate length greater than a gate width, and at one side thereof is connected to the highly-doped drain region and at the other side thereof extends laterally into the highly-doped source region; a region located below the control gate is a channel region; and the gate width of the control gate is less than twice width of a source depletion layer. The device modulates the source-side tunneling junction by using the strip-shaped gate structure, achieves the effect equivalent to that the source junction has a steep doping concentration gradient, and improves the TFET device performance; and the preparation method thereof is simple.
