Organic Pentacene-Based Vertical Organic Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET): Simulation Study

The tunnel FET (TFET) is a very good alternative for conventional MOSFET. A TFET's fundamental layout is similar to that of a MOSFET; however, the essential switching process varies, making this device a viable future alternative. TFETs switch by using quantum tunnelling to pass through the barrier rather than thermionic emission. Because of this characteristic, TFETs can exceed the MOSFET's drain current subthreshold swing limit of 60 mV/decade at ambient temperature. Using Organic semiconductors, in addition to the benefits of TFET, can be a significant shift. Organic Semiconductors provides low cost and eco-friendliness to the device, allowing OTFET to be a potential solution to many issues. They are also mostly utilized in thin film FETs and flexible electronics.
