Heterojunction tunneling field-effect transistors (HTFETs) that use strained-silicon/strained-germanium type-H staggered band alignment for hand-to-hand tunneling (BBT) injection are simulated using a nonlocal quantum tunneling model. The tunneling model is first compared to measurements of gate-controlled BBT in previously fabricated strained SiGe diodes and is shown to produce good agreement with the measurements. The simulation of the gated diode structure is then extended to study HTFETs with an effective energy barrier of 0.25 eV at the strained-Si/strained-Ge heterointerface. As the band alignment, particularly the valence band offset, is critical to modeling HTFET operation, analysis of measured characteristics of MOS capacitors fabricated in strained-Si/strained-Ge/relaxed Si0.5Ge0.5, hetero-junctions is used to extract a valence band offset of 0.64 eV at the strained-Si/strained-Ge heterointerface. Simulations are used to compare HTFETs to MOSFETs with similar technology parameters. The simulations show that HTFETs have potential for low-operating-voltage (V-dd < 0.5 V) application and exhibit steep subthreshold swing over many decades while maintaining high ON-state currents.
