A gate stack is described that uses anti-ferroelectric material (e.g., Si, La, N, Al, Zr, Ge, Y doped HfO2) or ferroelectric material (e.g., Si, La, N, Al, Zr, Ge, Y doped HfO2, perovskite ferroelectric such as NH4H2PO4, KH2PO4, LiNb03, LiTaO3, BaTiO3, PbTiO3, Pb (Zr,Ti) O3, (Pb,La)TiO3, and (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3) which reduces write voltage, improves endurance, and increases retention. The gate stack of comprises strained anti-FE or FE material and depolarized anti-FE or FE. The endurance of the FE transistor is further improved by using a higher K (constant) dielectric (e.g., SiO2, Al2O3, HfO2, Ta2O3, La2O3) in the gate stack. High K effects may also be achieved by depolarizing the FE or FE oxide in the transistor gate stack.

Transistors suitable for high voltage and high frequency operation. A nanowire is disposed vertically or horizontally on a substrate. A longitudinal length of the nanowire is defined into a channel region of a first semiconductor material, a source region electrically coupled with a first end of the channel region, a drain region electrically coupled with a second end of the channel region, and an extrinsic drain region disposed between the channel region and drain region. The extrinsic drain region has a wider bandgap than that of the first semiconductor. A gate stack including a gate conductor and a gate insulator coaxially wraps completely around the channel region, drain and source contacts similarly coaxially wrap completely around the drain and source regions.

Techniques and mechanisms for providing electrical insulation or other protection of an integrated circuit (IC) device with a spacer structure which comprises an (anti)ferromagnetic material. In an embodiment, a transistor comprises doped source or drain regions and a channel region which are each disposed in a fin structure, wherein a gate electrode and an underlying dielectric layer of the transistor each extend over the channel region. Insulation spacers are disposed on opposite sides of the gate electrode, where at least a portion of one such insulation spacer comprises an (anti)ferroelectric material. Another portion of the insulation spacer comprises a non-(anti)ferroelectric material. In another embodiment, the two portions of the spacer are offset vertically from one another, wherein the (anti)ferroelectric portion forms a bottom of the spacer.
