We investigate the effects of the recessed-body thickness and the doping level on the device performance. For optimal device structures, our proposed n-TFET reaches 1.44 × 10 -6 A/μm of on current and 3.22 × 10 9 ON/OFF current ratio. A minimum subthreshold swing SS min = 28.3 mV/dec and an average swing SS avg = 59.8 mV/dec over seven orders of drain current are achieved. In addition, complementary TFET inverters show good noise margins of NM H = 65 mV (38.5 % V DD ) and NM L = 77 mV (32.5 % V DD ) and also a high voltage gain even at V DD = 0.2 V.
