An analytic three-terminal band-to-band tunneling current model for the gat
e-induced drain leakage current (GIDL) in an n-MOSFET is developed. This mo
del considers impurity doping concentration, vertical field, lateral field,
and so-induced electron momentum enhancement, as well as the surface elect
rostatic potential in the gate-to-drain overlapped region. Based on a const
ant surface-potential approximation, a closed-form equation has been obtain
ed instead of the complex integral-form in previous works. The results from
this new model show good agreement with the measurement data over a wide r
ange of gate and drain biases and device channel lengths. This work is usef
ul for GIDL analysis in transistor design as well as in circuit simulation.
