We report for the first time a quantum mechanical simulation study of gate capacitance components in aggressively scaled InAs Nanowire Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors. It will be shown that the gate-drain capacitance exhibits the same functional dependence over the whole VgsVgs range as the total gate capacitance, albeit with smaller values. However, as opposed to the previous capacitance estimations provided by semiclassical TCAD tools, we find that the gate capacitance exhibits a non-monotonic behavior vs. gate voltage, with plateaus and bumps related with energy quantization and subband formation determined by the device cross-sectional size, as well as with the position of channel-conduction subbands relative to the Fermi level in the drain contact. From this point of view, semiclassical TCAD tools seem to be inaccurate for capacitance estimation in aggressively-scaled TFET devices.
