## Thank you

A new type of graphene-switching transistor termed as "junctionless tunnel effect transistor (JTET)" based on graphene-hBN-graphene vertical heterostructure and interlayer tunneling is proposed and an analytical current transport model has been developed. The drain current in graphene JTET flows between the source and drain of bottom graphene layer. The current in the channel is regulated by the shift in channel Fermi level which depends on the net vertical tunneling of carriers from top graphene to bottom graphene layers through hBN. Performance of graphene JTET is evaluated for different numbers of hBN layers. A comparison between graphene JTET and ITRS projected 2020 nMOSFET is also provided apart from graphene JTET performance comparison with similar iTFETs. Current saturation is observed in graphene JTET output characteristic for both p- and n -type operations, which makes graphene JTET suitable for digital circuit design. Graphene JTET is also capable of suppressing NDR effect, and shows steep subthreshold slope with high on/off current ratio and normal operation at room temperature. A complementary vertical inverter is presented similar to a CMOS inverter and analyzed for its performance. Graphene JTET vertical inverter gives inverter gain higher than unity at the low supply voltage and both low and high noise margins. It is concluded that with an average 25 mV/decade subthreshold slope at 0.1 V supply voltage and a current ratio of ~104 , graphene interlayer junctionless tunnel effect transistor meets the ITRS requirement of device scaling for energy-efficient circuit design.
