Abstract

A variable capacitive element includes a first fixed electrode and a second fixed electrode that are insulated from each other, a movable electrode arranged to face the first fixed electrode and the second fixed electrode, a dielectric layer provided between the movable electrode and the first fixed electrode as well as the second fixed electrode, a first wiring part for applying a first driving voltage to the first fixed electrode with reference to a potential of the movable electrode, and a second wiring part for applying a second driving voltage to the second fixed electrode with reference to the potential of the movable electrode, the second driving voltage having a polarity different from a polarity of the first driving voltage.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments discussed herein relate to variable capacitance elements, and more particularly, to variable capacitance elements fabricated using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Background technique [0002] Variable capacitance elements are components used in circuits such as variable frequency oscillators, tuned amplifiers, phase shifters, and impedance matching circuits. In recent years, more and more variable capacitance elements are installed in portable devices. [0003] Compared with varactor diodes, which are currently mainly used as variable capacitance elements, variable capacitance elements manufactured using MEMS technology can achieve high Q values ​​with low energy loss. Therefore, it is desired to develop variable capacitance elements manufactured using MEMS technology and put them into practical use. [0004] Hereinafter, a variable capacitance element manufactured using MEMS technology is simply referred to as a "varia...
