In this work, the authors have reported the reliability issues of dual material control gate tunnel field effect transistor (DMCG-TFET) and proposed heterogeneous gate dielectric dual metal control gate tunnel field effect transistors (HD DMCG-TFETs) in terms of interface trap charges (ITCs). The positive and negative types of localised charges at the semiconductor/insulator interface cause degradation in the device performance (DC/RF). In this regard, the proposed structure which includes combination of low-K and high-K dielectric improves the immunity towards the ITCs at the interface of semiconductor/insulator with better performance. In this concern, the study has analysed the impact of ITCs on DC and analogue/RF performances of the DMCG-TFET and HD DMCG-TFET in terms of various parameters like electric field, energy band diagram, carrier concentration, transfer characteristics, transconductance (gm ), cutoff frequency (fT ) and gain bandwidth product. Further to this, impact on device linearity parameters is also analysed through higher order of transconductance coefficients (gm3 ), VIP2, VIP3 and IIP3. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2018.
