Title:
VARIABLE CAPACITANCE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/092980
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a variable capacitance device (1) which is provided with a substrate (2), a beam section (6), a drive capacitance (C1), a variable capacitance (C2), and a drive voltage control circuit (11). The beam section (6) has the cantilever structure and is connected to the substrate (2). The drive capacitance (C1) is configured to face on the beam section (6) and the substrate (2), and displaces the beam section (6) corresponding to an electrostatic attractive force generated when a DC voltage is applied. The variable capacitance is configured to face on the beam section (6) and the substrate (2), and changes the capacitance corresponding to the displacement of the beam section (6). The drive voltage control circuit (11) detects a detection voltage that changes corresponding to the drive capacitance (C1), and controls the DC voltage to be applied to the drive capacitance (C1) so that the detection voltage is close to a desired value.
