In this paper, we have developed an analytical model for the quantum mechanical source to drain tunneling effects occurring in the sub 10nm nanometer scale MOSFETs. Inversion layer quantization, band-gap narrowing and drain induced barrier lowering effects have been included in the developed model. Results predict that the source to drain tunneling results in an increase of leakage currents in sub 10 nm MOSFETs and hence cannot be ignored. The results match closely with the numerical results already reported in literature proving the accuracy of the model.
