Abstract
- Conventional silicon-based transistor downscaling is approaching its physical limits, and thus additional novel solutions are urgently desired to address this issue. Herein, we show that 2-D antimonene with heavy effective mass and high density of state (DOS) via strain engineering presents reliable transistor performance with the channel length (${L}_{\text {ch}}$) shrinking below 5 nm. As the biaxial tensile strain increases to 7%, the band switching gives rise to a heavy hole effective mass of $12.6{m}_{{0}}$ and a Van Hoff singularity-like DOS. This unique electronic structure can effectively suppress the tunneling current, resulting in steep subthreshold swings (SSs) and ideal ON-current (${I}_{ \mathrm{ON}}$). Especially, as ${L}_{\text {ch}}$ downscales to 2.2 nm, the OFF-current can be easily reduced to 0.1 $\mu \text{A}/\mu \text{m}$ with SS of 120 mV/dec (310 mV/dec for pristine antimonene) and ${I}_{ \mathrm{ON}}$ exceeds 900 $\mu \text{A}/\mu \text{m}$ , fulfilling the requirements for high-performance applications. Our results provide new insights on extending the scaling limit in energy-efficient gate-controlled devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
