Temperature dependence of the drain current of a MOSFET plays a crucial role in the device performance and power dissipation has become a major obstacle in performance scaling of modern integrated circuits, and has spurred the search for devices operating at lower voltage swing. In this paper, we propose the application of a symmetric Double Gate (SDG) in a Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET) to simultaneously optimize the on-current, the off-current and the threshold voltage, and also improve the average subthreshold slope, the nature of the output characteristics and the immunity against the DIBL effects. We demonstrate that if appropriate work-functions are chosen for the gate materials on the source side and the drain side, the tunnel field effect transistor shows a significantly improved performance. We apply the technique of SDG in a Strained Double Gate Tunnel Field Effect Transistor with an Oxide gate dielectric to show an overall improvement in the characteristics of the device along with achieving a good on-current and an excellent average subthreshold slope. The results show that the SDG technique can be applied to TFETs with different channel materials, channel lengths, gate-oxide materials, gate-oxide thicknesses and power supply levels to achieve significant gains in the overall device characteristics. The on-current of these devices is mainly limited by the tunneling barrier properties, and phonon scattering has only a moderate effect.
