Abstract:
Tunnel field effect transistors include a semiconductor substrate; a source region in the semiconductor substrate; a drain region in the semiconductor substrate; a channel region in the semiconductor substrate between the source region and the drain region; and a gate electrode on the semiconductor substrate above the channel region. The source region comprises a first region having a first conductivity type, a third region having a second conductivity type that is different from the first conductivity type, and a second region having an intrinsic conductivity type that is between the first region and the third region.
Abstract:
Neural signal amplifiers include an operational amplifier and a feedback network coupled between an output and an input thereof. The feedback network includes a tunnel field effect transistor (“TFET”) pseudo resistor that exhibits bi-directional conductivity. A drain region of the TFET may be electrically connected to the gate electrode thereof to provide a bi-directional resistor having good symmetry in terms of resistance as a function of voltage polarity.
