Abstract
A silicon/germanium (SiGe) heterojunction Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET) and a preparation method thereof are provided, in which a source region of a device is manufactured on a silicon germanium (SiGe) or Ge region, and a drain region of the device is manufactured in a Si region, thereby obtaining a high ON-state current while ensuring a low OFF-state current. Local Ge oxidization and concentration technique is used to implement a Silicon Germanium On Insulator (SGOI) or Germanium On Insulator (GOI) with a high Ge content in some area. In the SGOI or GOI with a high Ge content, the Ge content is controllable from 50% to 100%. In addition, the film thickness is controllable from 5 nm to 20 nm, facilitating the implementation of the device process. During the oxidization and concentration process of the SiGe or Ge and Si, a SiGe heterojunction structure with a gradient Ge content is formed between the SiGe or Ge and Si, thereby eliminating defects. The preparation method according to the present invention has a simple process, which is compatible with the CMOS process and is applicable to mass industrial production.
