Abstract: A novel parallel-plate MEMS variable capacitor with a thin-film vertical comb actuator is proposed. The actuator can vertically displace both plates of the capacitor. Making use of the ...

Abstract: An innovative and simple method is proposed to achieve ultralinear behavior in a capacitance-versus-voltage response and to obtain a large capacitance tuning ratio in a parallel-plate ...

The parallel-plate capacitor equation is widely used in contemporary material research for nanoscale applications and nanoelectronics. To apply this equation, flat and smooth electrodes are assumed ...

Another passive two-terminal electrical component is the capacitor. It is formerly known as a condenser and is capable of storing energy in the form of an electrostatic charge that produces a ...
