Abstract

A probabilistic approach is developed to evaluate the impact of power supply voltage fluctuations on the output error probability of tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) based integrated circuits (ICs) operating at low supply voltages. The proposed model is used to better understand the error probability of synchronous digital circuits designed with 22 nm III-V heterojunction TFET technology. A comparative analysis with high performance 20 nm FinFET and 22 nm CMOS based circuits is also provided to illustrate the related tradeoffs among supply voltage, frequency, and error probability for these three technologies. This investigation is important for energy-efficient TFET based circuits where noise sensitivity is higher due to ultra low operating voltages.
