Abstract

See full text

A variable capacitance device includes a ferroelectric capacitor, a control terminal, a ground terminal, and a capacitor. The ferroelectric capacitor includes a ferroelectric film and capacitor electrodes sandwiching the ferroelectric film, and its capacitance value is changed according to a control voltage value applied between the capacitor electrodes. The control terminal is connected to a first end of the ferroelectric capacitor. The ground terminal is connected to a second end of the ferroelectric capacitor. The capacitor is connected between the control terminal and the ground terminal, and has a capacitance larger than that of the ferroelectric capacitor.
