Piezotronics and piezophototronics are emerging fields by coupling piezoelectric, semiconductor, and photon excitation effects for achieving high-performance strain-gated sensors, LEDs, and solar cells. The built-in piezoelectric potential effectively controls carrier transport characteristics in piezoelectric semiconductor materials, such as ZnO, GaN, InN, CdS, and monolayer MoS2. In this paper, a topological insulator piezotronic transistor is investigated theoretically based on a HgTe/CdTe quantum well. The conductance, ON/OFF ratio, and density of states have been studied at various strains for the topological insulator piezotronic transistor. The ON/OFF ratio of conductance can reach up to 1010 with applied strain. The properties of the topological insulator are modulated by piezoelectric potential; which is the result of the piezotronic effect on quantum states. The principle provides a method for developing high-performance piezotronic devices based on a topological insulator.
