Nontrivial capacitance behavior, including a negative capacitance (NC) effect, observed in a variety of semiconductor devices, is discussed emphasizing the physical mechanism and the theoretical interpretation of experimental data. The correct interpretation of NC can be based on the analysis of the time-domain transient current in response to a small voltage step or impulse, involving a self-consistent treatment of all relevant physical effects (carrier transport, injection, recharging etc…

Ferroelectric negative capacitance
The capacitor is a key element of electronic devices and is characterized by positive capacitance. However, a negative capacitance (NC) behaviour may occur in certain cases and implies a local…

Origin of apparent light-enhanced and negative capacitance in perovskite solar cells
TLDR
It is shown that apparently high capacitances in general (positive and negative) are not related to any capacitive feature in the sense of a corresponding charge accumulation, and are a natural consequence of slow transients mainly in forward current of the diode upon ion displacement when changing voltage.
Ferroelectric Negative Capacitance Field Effect Transistor
With the progress in silicon circuit miniaturization, lowering power consumption becomes the major objective. Supply voltage scaling in ultralarge‐scale integration (ULSI) is limited by the physical…

TLDR
The analysis of the transient current upon voltage turn-on in the dark reveals that the charge injection properties of the interfaces are triggered by the accumulation of mobile ionic defects, leading to a deeper understanding of the physical effects in these materials.
