    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite structure having a layer of monocrystalline silicon carbide on a polycrystalline silicon carbide carrier substrate includes: providing an initial substrate of polycrystalline silicon carbide, having a front face and comprising grains, the average size of which is greater than 0.5 μm; forming a polycrystalline silicon carbide surface layer on the initial substrate to form the carrier substrate, the surface layer including grains having an average size of less than 500 nm and having a thickness of between 50 nm and 50 μm; preparing a free surface of the surface layer of the carrier substrate to obtain a roughness of less than 1 nm RMS; (d) a step of transferring the useful layer onto the carrier substrate, by applying molecular bonding, the surface layer located between the useful layer and the initial substrate. A carrier substrate and a composite structure are formed by the method.

    Abstract: An NCFET transistor comprises a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate for a field-effect transistor, and the NCFET transistor successively comprises, from its base to its surface: a semiconductor carrier substrate; a single ferroelectric layer, arranged in direct contact with the carrier substrate, which layer is designed to be biased so as to form a negative capacitance; and an active layer of a semiconductor material, which layer is designed to form the channel of the transistor, and is arranged in direct contact with the ferroelectric layer. The NCFET transistor further comprises a channel that is arranged in the active layer, a source and a drain that are arranged in the active layer on either side of the channel, and a gate that is arranged on the channel and is insulated from the channel by a gate dielectric.
