    Abstract: Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are promising devices in that they promise significant performance increase and energy consumption decrease due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical fin-based TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like). In one embodiment, the tunneling direction in the channel of the vertical TFET can be perpendicular to the Si substrates. In one embodiment, this can be different than the tunneling direction in the channel of lateral TFETs.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure includes a first semiconductor fin extending horizontally in a length direction and including a bottom portion and a top portion above the bottom portion, a bottom transistor associated with the bottom portion of the first semiconductor fin, a top transistor above the bottom transistor and associated with the top portion of the first semiconductor fin, and a first vertical diode. The first vertical diode includes: a bottom region associated with at least the bottom portion of the first semiconductor fin, the bottom region including one of n-type and p-type dopant; a top region associated with at least the top portion of the first semiconductor fin, the top region including the other of n-type and p-type dopant; a bottom terminal electrically connected to the bottom region; and a top terminal electrically connected to the top region at the top portion of the first semiconductor fin.
