This work presents a comprehensive investigation of symmetric (HJ-DD-UTFET) and asymmetric Source Drain Heterojunction Dual Dielectric Uniform Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (A-SD-HJ-DD-UTFET) to achieve enhanced analog/RF, and linearity performance. The A-SD-HJ-DD-UTFET showcases an extremely low OFF current level of 8. 124 cD7 10 A/μm which surpasses the symmetric HJ-DD-UTFET by 5,470 times and presents a high ON-OFF ratio of 2. 83 cD7 10 representing a 6,261 times improvement. This enhanced performance occurs because of structural asymmetry which makes it suitable for high-end RF and biosensing purposes while reaching a peak transconductance of 536 uS. For dengue NS1 protein detection (_705 = 78. 7), the TCAD-driven model of the proposed A-SD-HJ-DD-UTFET biosensor delivers a distinctive label-free detection method, achieving a peak transconductance (g) of 577 uS, cut-off frequency (f) of 193 GHz, Gain-Bandwidth Product (GBP) of 201 GHz, Transconductance Generation factor (TGF) of 155 V, and gain transconductance frequency product (GTFP) of 25. 9 THz. These correspond to improvements of 51. 4%, 13. 5%, 26. 4%, 96. 4%, and 45. 5%, respectively, over SARS-CoV spike protein detection (_705 = 2). The A-SD-HJ-DD-UTFET biosensor also exhibits superior linearity performance during dengue NS1 protein detection through its desirable intercept points, minimal intermodulation distortion, and a well-maintained 1 dB compression point, affirming its potential as a high-speed, label-free RF biosensor for infectious disease Point of Care Testing (POCT) diagnostics.
