A semiconductor device with reduce capacitance coupling effect which can reduce the overall parasitic capacitances is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a gate sidewall spacer with a negative capacitance dielectric layer with and without a dielectric layer. The semiconductor device may also include a plurality of interlevel dielectric (ILD) with a layer of negative capacitance dielectric layer followed by a dielectric layer disposed in-between metal lines in any ILD and combinations. The negative capacitance dielectric layer includes a ferroelectric material which has calculated and selected thicknesses with desired negative capacitance to provide optimal total overlap capacitance in the circuit component which aims to reduce the overall capacitance coupling effect.
