Infineon Demonstrated New Tunneling Field Effect Transistors Enabling Scalable Ultra-Low Voltage Processes in Standard Silicon Technology
At the 2004 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in San Francisco (December 13 – 15, 2004) scientists from Infineon Technologies AG introduced several papers representing outstanding achievements each. Together with the Technical University of Munich the company presented a new scalable transistor concept enabling low voltage digital and analog circuits. For the first time ever, complementary Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are fabricated in a standard silicon process with good performance for static and dynamic parameters.
