  • Abstract
    Through advanced device simulations, we have demonstrated the feasibility of broken gap heteroTFETs based on strained WTe2-MoS2. The combination of two tunneling path ensures a low average iSS and a relatively high ON-current. To improve this performance and move towards low power electronics, other material combinations such as MoTe2-SnSe2 or WSe2-SnSe2 should be investigated with stress as additional design parameter.
