The short channel effects (SCE) are becoming serious problems as MOSFET scales down to the deep sub-micron dimension. For this reason, a silicon tunneling transistor called TFET is investigated. The device and process simulations are carried out to investigate physical principle, optimized fabrication conditions, and future structure of TFET. With the improved technologies, the complementary TFETs are realized on the single silicon wafer. The room temperature gate-controlled tunneling is realized in this silicon device. Due to the low leakage current, TFET can be used in the low power circuits. In addition, TFET is suitable for microwave application because of the short electron transit time through its channel.
