abstract = {Steep-slope transistors allow to scale down the supply
voltage and the energy per computed bit of information as
compared to conventional field-effect transistors (FETs),
due to their sub-60 mV/decade subthreshold swing at room
temperature. Currently pursued approaches to achieve such a
subthermionic subthreshold swing consist in alternative
carrier injection mechanisms, like quantum mechanical
band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) in Tunnel FETs or abrupt
phase-change in metal-insulator transition (MIT) devices.
The strengths of the BTBT and MIT have been combined in a
hybrid device architecture called phase-change tunnel FET
(PC-TFET), in which the abrupt MIT in vanadium dioxide (VO2)
lowers the subthreshold swing of strained-silicon nanowire
TFETs. In this work, we demonstrate that the principle
underlying the low swing in the PC-TFET relates to a
sub-unity body factor achieved by an internal differential
gate voltage amplification. We study the effect of
temperature on the switching ratio and the swing of the
PC-TFET, reporting values as low as 4.0 mV/decade at
25 °C, 7.8 mV/decade at 45 °C. We discuss how the
unique characteristics of the PC-TFET open new perspectives,
beyond FETs and other steep-slope transistors, for low power
electronics, analog circuits and neuromorphic computing.},
