Abstract

A negative capacitance field effect transistor (NCFET) and a manufacturing method thereof. The NCFET includes: a substrate structure, including a MOS region; a gate insulating dielectric structure, covering the MOS region; and a metal gate stack layer, covering the gate insulating dielectric structure. The gate insulating dielectric structure includes an interface oxide layer, a HfO2 layer, a doping material layer, and a ferroelectric material layer, which are sequentially stacked along a direction away from the substrate structure. A ferroelectric material in the ferroelectric material layer is HfxA1-xO2, A represents a doping element, and 0.1≤x≤0.9. A material forming the doping material layer is AyOz or A, and a ratio of y/z is equal to 1/2, 2/3, 2/5 or 1/1. Ferroelectric characteristics, material stability, and material reliability of the NCFET are improved by increasing domain polarity of the ferroelectric material.
