Abstract
By incorporating the realistic junction parameters, we have obtained new insights on practical TFET operation. Interestingly, we have found that a non-abrupt junction does not necessarily degrade the TFET performance if the geometry can be appropriately optimized. We have also studied the tradeoffs in using a Si-Ge-Si channel.
