Abstract

See full text

A tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a p-type GaN source layer, an n-type GaN drain layer, and an interlayer interfaced between the source-layer and the drain layer. In one example, the interlayer includes an Indium Nitride (InN) layer. In one example, the interlayer includes a graded Indium gallium nitride layer and an InN layer. In one example, the interlayer may include a graded Indium gallium nitride (InxGa1-xN) layer and an Indium gallium nitride (InGaN) layer. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes an in-line configuration. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a side-wall configuration.
