초록

In this paper, we firstly proposed a mechanically reliable parallel-plate type variable capacitor with a single crystalline silicon (SCS) supporting structure. The demonstrated variable capacitor was fabricated using an SiOG (Silicon-On-Glass) process, and both mechanical and electrical characteristics were measured. Total chip size was 1.05 mm × 0.72 mm, and the pull-in voltage was measured to be 37 V. With and without the applied DC bias, the measured S11 and S21 were changed from -15.6 dB to -5.1 dB, and from -0.49 dB to -2.3 dB at 30 GHz, respectively. The measured capacitance at the up and the down state were 30 fF and 140 fF, respectively. Therefore, the capacitance ratio is calculated to be 4.67. © 2005 IEEE.
