Technology term
Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor (TFET)
A transistor that switches current through band-to-band quantum tunnelling rather than relying mainly on charge carriers crossing a thermal barrier. Its steep switching can support lower operating voltage, although output current and manufacturing remain challenges.
