Methods of forming a ferroelectric material layer below a field plate for achieving increased Vbr with reduced Rdson and resulting devices are provided. Embodiments include forming a N-Drift in a portion of the Si layer formed in a portion of a p-sub; forming an oxide layer over portions of the Si layer and the N-Drift; forming a gate over a portion of the oxide layer; forming a S/D extension region in the Si layer; forming first and second spacers on opposite sides of the gate and the oxide layer; forming a S/D region in the Si layer adjacent to the S/D extension region and a S/D region in the N-Drift remote from the Si layer; forming a U-shaped ferroelectric material layer over the oxide layer and the N-Drift, proximate or adjacent to the gate; and filling the U-shaped ferroelectric material layer with a metal, a field gate formed.
