Electrically doped SiGe-heterojunction TFET based biosensor considering non-ideal hybridization issues: a simulation study.

Calibrated simulations are used to study a dielectric modulated, electrically doped, dual metal gate, SiGe heterojunction, double gate TFET biosensor in this work. Use of lower bandgap SiGe at the source side helps in improving the ON current of the biosensor. Electric doping is preferred over physical doping to overcome the random dopant fluctuations and high thermal budget problems.
