Abstract in brief

  • The study discusses a new type of tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) made from black phosphorus that uses a natural heterojunction with varying layer thickness, which helps avoid interface problems seen in previous designs.
  • The researchers achieved very low subthreshold swing (SS) values—around 45 to 60 mV/dec—meaning the transistor can switch more efficiently at lower voltages, making it suitable for low-power applications.
  • Their device also demonstrated a record-high current of 106.51 μA, showing potential for future energy-efficient switches that could extend beyond traditional transistor limits as Moore’s law slows down.]
