This paper addresses the effect of temperature variation on the performance of a novel device structure Si-doped Hf[Formula: see text] negative capacitance junctionless tunnel field effect transistor (Si:Hf[Formula: see text] NC-JLTFET). Here, Si:Hf[Formula: see text] ferroelectric material is deployed as gate stack along with high-K gate dielectric Hf[Formula: see text]. Si:Hf[Formula: see text] ferroelectric material generates NC effect during the device operation. This phenomenon is an effective technique for intrinsic voltage amplification, reduction in power supply, as well as minimization of power dissipation. The proposed device structure has two variants, symmetric and asymmetric with respect to the oxide thickness between electrode and Si body at both drain and source sides. As band-to-band tunneling in TFET is temperature dependent, it is very crucial to analyze the impact of temperature variation on the device performance. This work is mainly focused on investigating the device dc performance parameters, analog/RF performance parameters and linearity performance parameters by observing the impact of temperature variation. The device characteristics reveal that for dc and RF performance parameters, asymmetric structure shows better result. Highest [Formula: see text] ratio and minimum SS are reported as [Formula: see text] and 20.038 mV/dec, respectively, at 300K for asymmetric structure. At elevated temperatures higher cutoff frequency and reduced intrinsic delay project the device as a strong candidate for ultra low-power and high switching speed applications. Further, the reported device shows better linearity performance at higher temperatures.
