Abstract Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) faces the major problem of being unable to achieve a subthreshold swing (SS) below 60 mV/dec. As device dimensions continue to reduce and the demand for high switching ratios for low power consumption increases, the tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) appears to be a viable device, displaying promising characteristic as an answer to the shortcomings of the traditional MOSFET. So far, TFET designing has been a task of sacrificing higher ON state current for low subthreshold swing (and ), and a device that displays both while maintaining structural integrity and operational stability lies in the nascent stages of popular research. This work presents a comprehensive analysis of a heterojunction plasma doped gate-all-around TFET (HPD-GAA-TFET) by making a comparison between MgSi and Si which serve as source materials. Charge plasma technique is employed to implement doping in an intrinsic silicon wafer with the help of suitable electrodes. A low-energy bandgap material, i.e. magnesium silicide is incorporated as source material to form a heterojunction between source and silicon-based channel. A rigorous comparison of performance between Si-based GAA-TFET and HPD-GAA-TFET is conducted in terms of electrical, radio frequency (RF), linearity, and distortion parameters. It is observable that HPD-GAA-TFET outperforms conventional Si-based GAA-TFET with an ON-state current (), subthreshold swing (SS), threshold voltage (), and current switching ratio being 0.377 mA, 12.660 mV/dec, 0.214 V, and , respectively. Moreover, HPD-GAA-TFET holds faster switching and is more reliable than Si-based device. Therefore, HPD-GAA-TFET is suitable for low-power applications.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
