    Integration challenges of perovskites-based ferroelectrics increased the focus on usage of non-perovskites for the design of Negative Capacitance (NC) FETs. To meet the sub-60mV/decade subthreshold swing without compromising the on-state performance in advanced nodes, integration of Ferroelectric layer in the gate stack of a lateral Heterojunction Tunnel FET(HTFET) is an optimum choice. Ferroelectric materials when stabilized, exhibit hysteresis-free negative capacitance characteristics that improve the subthreshold swing and thereby the on-state performance TFET. In this work we explored the CMOS compatible non-perovskites based ferroelectrics, such as doped Hafnium oxide (HfO<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf>), and Hafnium Zirconium oxide (HZO<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf>), for designing Staggered gap Heterojunction Ferroelectric TFETs(He-FeTFET), for low power logic applications. Using SILVACO TCAD, a commercial Technology CAD software, an exhaustive simulation study is made tuning the device parameters, to achieve a hysteresis-free steeper switching with sub-60 mV/decade subthreshold swing without compromising the on-state performance and to achieve very low leakage, of the order of sub-fA. The material system, dopings of the device and the thickness of the ferroelectric layer, necessary to achieve a point subthreshold-swing of lesser than 10 mV/decade and large on-to-off current ratio (I<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on</inf>/I<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">off</inf>) ≈ 10<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">10</sup> for the He-FeTFET are presented and performance is compared with a plain HTFET.
