2 Aim of this presentation So far very few reports of fabricated circuits with TFETs (inverters, simple gates, half-sram, current mirrors). Often not with the best performing TFETs. Often w/o complementary technology. Experimental TFETs still suffer from SS degradation (traps) Our aim: to evaluate the performance of TFET circuits down to very low Vdd considering a virtual complementary TFET technology. Benchmarking against 10nm silicon FinFETs 2

23 OUTLINE Template devices and methodology Digital building blocks Analog/Mixed-signal building blocks Conclusions 23

24 Conclusions (1) many digital building blocks show advantages of TFETs over finfets for Vdd below approx. 400mV promising analog performance due to higher g m /I d and higher R out of TFETs analysis based on idealized devices with no layout parasitics due to the lower Ion, it is mandatory to have SS<60mV/dec to have advantages of TFETs over MOSFETs the pros (i.e. low SS and high R OUT ) and cons (i.e. ambipolarity, unidirectionality, p- versus n-type asymmetry, large C GD ) of TFETs with respect to MOSFETs can be balanced at best by adopting new circuit topologies; while research on TFETs focuses mostly on switches for digital circuits, TFETs exhibit potential interesting advantages also for analog / mixed-signal applications; 24

25 Conclusions (2) the introduction of TFET in mainstream CMOS technologies will likely be limited to electronic systems operating at extremely reduced voltage (lower than 400 mv) preferentially by adopting an hybrid TFET/MOSFET implementation, which takes advantage of both transistor options. At such small voltages (time dependent) variability may end up being the most stringent requirement dictating the application window of such technology 25
