Large Variation in Temperature Dependence of Band-to-Band Tunneling Current in Tunnel Devices
The observation of a significant temperature-dependent variation in the ${I}$ – ${V}$ characteristics of tunneling devices is often interpreted as a signature of a trap-assisted-tunneling dominated current. In this letter, we use a ballistic 2D quantum-mechanical simulator, calibrated using the measured temperature-dependent ${I ...

Interlayer Band‐to‐Band Tunneling and Negative Differential Resistance in van der Waals BP/InSe Field‐Effect Transistors [PDF]
Atomically thin layers of van der Waals (vdW) crystals offer an ideal material platform to realize tunnel field‐effect transistors (TFETs) that exploit the tunneling of charge carriers across the forbidden gap of a vdW heterojunction. This type of device

Band-to-Band Tunneling Based Ultra-Energy-Efficient Silicon Neuron [PDF]
The human brain comprises about a hundred billion neurons connected through quadrillion synapses. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) take inspiration from the brain to model complex cognitive and learning tasks. Neuromorphic engineering implements SNNs in hardware, aspiring to mimic the brain at scale (i.e., 100 billion neurons) with biological area and ...
