Abstract
We propose a dynamic threshold voltage junctionless tunnel FET (DT-JLTFET) in which the threshold voltage can be dynamically adjusted, resulting in higher ON-current. Through 2D numerical simulations, it is presented that the threshold voltage in the DT-JLTFET can be adjusted by applying a voltage to the adjust gate. The impact of the threshold voltage shift on the overall performance of the device is also studied. A comparison is made between the dynamic threshold voltage characteristics of a silicon JLTFET and a Si0.7Ge0.3 source JLTFET.-
