FIG. 3. Subthreshold characteristics for a band-to-band tunneling device at three different temperatures. The inset shows
the extracted S values for the p-type branch at VgsAl < 0 as
gray symbols with error bars and those extracted from the BTB
tunneling branch at VgsAl > 0 as black symbols with error
bars. Also included are simulation results as solid lines with
markers.
