Described is an apparatus forming complementary tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs) using oxide and/or organic semiconductor material. One type of TFET comprises: a substrate; a doped first region, formed above the substrate, having p-type material selected from a group consisting of Group III-V, IV-IV, and IV of a periodic table; a doped second region, formed above the substrate, having transparent oxide n-type semiconductor material; and a gate stack coupled to the doped first and second regions. Another type of TFET comprises: a substrate; a doped first region, formed above the substrate, having p-type organic semiconductor material; a doped second region, formed above the substrate, having n-type oxide semiconductor material; and a gate stack coupled to the doped source and drain regions. In another example, TFET is made using organic only semiconductor materials for active regions.
