In this study, a SiGe source-based epitaxial layer-encapsulated TFET (SiGe source ETLTFET) is developed, and the performance of the device is examined by optimizing various design parameters, including the epitaxial layer thickness (tepi), gateto-source overlap length (Lov), Ge mole fraction, and source doping concentration. The average subthreshold swing (SSavg) and ON-OFF current ratio are used to evaluate the device’s performance. The results show a superior performance of SiGe source ETLTFET compared with its homojunction counterpart. Furthermore, to demonstrate the possibilities for using the proposed device in a logic circuit, a resistive load inverter is designed using the n-type ETLTFET.
