Abstract

Provided is a variable-capacitance element wherein a desired capacitance value which corresponds to a write voltage can be freely set and a capacitance value which has been set before is maintained even when there is no write voltage. A method for adjusting the variable-capacitance element, a variable-capacitance device and an electronic apparatus are also provided. In a variable-capacitance element (100), a pair of electrodes (101, 102) are formed with a ferroelectric material layer (103) in between. The variable-capacitance element is adjusted by a step of maximizing or minimizing the sum of electric dipole moments of the ferroelectric material layer (103), and a step of writing a capacitance value by applying a desired write voltage (V) to the electrodes (101, 102) of the variable-capacitance element (100), in which the sum of the electric dipole moments of the ferroelectric material layer (103) is maximized or minimized, so that the variable-capacitance element (100) has a desired capacitance value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a nonvolatile variable capacitance element whose capacitance changes with a given write voltage and is maintained after the write voltage is removed. The invention also relates to a method of adjusting the variable capacitance element, a variable capacitance device and an electronic device. Background technique [0002] Generally, in order to control frequency, time, etc., variable capacitance diodes (varactor diodes), MEMS, etc. have been commercialized and widely used. These components allow only small currents (in the microampere range) and are not suitable for high power applications. However, the present inventors have proposed a variable capacitance element including a ferroelectric material that allows a large current to pass. [0003] For example, Patent Document 1 below describes a variable capacitor having an electrode structure with improved reliability and productivity in which a titanate system is used as...
