摘要:
A MOS device includes first and second source/drains spaced apart relative to one another. A channel is formed in the device between the first and second source/drains. A gate is formed in the device between the first and second source/drains and proximate the channel, the gate being electrically isolated from the first and second source/drains and the channel. The gate is configured to control a conduction of the channel as a function of a potential applied to the gate. The MOS device further includes an energy filter formed between the first source/drain and the channel. The energy filter includes a superlattice structure wherein a mini-band is formed. The energy filter is operative to control an injection of carriers from the first source/drain into the channel. The energy filter, in combination with the first source/drain, is configured to produce an effective zero-Kelvin first source/drain.

An indirectly induced tunnel emitter for a tunneling field effect transistor (TFET) structure includes an outer sheath that at least partially surrounds an elongated core element, the elongated core element formed from a first semiconductor material; an insulator layer disposed between the outer sheath and the core element; the outer sheath disposed at a location corresponding to a source region of the TFET structure; and a source contact that shorts the outer sheath to the core element; wherein the outer sheath is configured to introduce a carrier concentration in the source region of the core element sufficient for tunneling into a channel region of the TFET structure during an on state.

A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device. The device includes: a doped semiconductor having a source region, a drain region, a channel between the source and drain regions, and an extension region between the channel and each of the source and drain regions; a gate formed on the channel; and a screening coating on each of the extension regions. The screening coating includes: (i) an insulating layer that has a dielectric constant that is no greater than about half that of the extension regions and is formed directly on the extension regions, and (ii) a screening layer on the insulating layer, where the screening layer screens the dopant ionization potential in the extension regions to inhibit dopant deactivation.
