Abstract:
1. A tunnel field-effect transistor, comprising: at least a source region comprising a corresponding source semiconductor material; at least a drain region comprising a corresponding drain semiconductor material; and at least a channel region comprising a corresponding channel semiconductor material, which is arranged between and in contact with said source region and said drain region, said tunnel field-effect transistor further comprising: at least a source-channel gate electrode provided on top of and overlapping at least an interface between said source region and said channel region; at least an insulator corresponding to said source-channel gate electrode that is provided between said source-channel gate electrode and at least said interface between said source region and said channel region; at least a drain-channel gate electrode provided on top of and overlapping at least an interface between said drain region and said channel region; and at least an insulator corresponding to said drain-channel gate electrode that is provided between said drain-channel gate electrode and at least said interface between said drain region and said channel region.
