| Abstract: | An analytical model of gate-all-around(GAA) silicon nanowire tunneling field effect transistors(NW-TFETs) is developted based on the surface potential solutions in the channel direction and considering the band to band tunneling(BTBT) efficiency. The three-dimensional Poisson equation is solved to obtain the surface potential distributions in the partition regions along the channel direction for the NW-TFET, and a tunneling current model using Kane's expression is developed. The validity of the developed model is shown by the good agreement between the model predictions and the TCAD simulation results. |
