Abstract :
Steep slope devices, like Tunnel FETs (TFETs), provide small subthreshold slope (SS) <;60mV/dec at 300K and low Ioff, enabling low consumptions of both dynamic and static power. Simulations of TFETs show higher (x8) performance at VDD ~ 0.3 V than MOSFETs at the same standby power and switching energy [1].
