Negative Capacitance for Stabilizing Logic State in Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor

The study investigates the influence of negative capacitance on the transfer characteristics of vdW FETs on the heterophase of CIPS ferroelectric. Notably, a less pronounced NC resulting from the spatial distribution of the ferroelectric and paraelectric phases plays crucial role in stabilizing of n-channel-conductance. This results into the emergence of a non-volatile logic state, between the two binary states of TFETs. Concerned study proposed NC-TFETs based on ferroionic crystals as promising devices for generating a stable logic state below Vth.
