PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a micro capacitor capable of changing capacity by simple constitution, and securing and stabilizing the capacity. SOLUTION: The micro capacitor is provided with capacitors 11, 12 constituting a plurality of capacitors C, a dielectric film, a driving electrode 14, and a single power supply and constituted so that the lengths L1 of the displacing positions of respective electrode 11P in the capacity 11 is coincident with each other, and the lengths L2 of respective driving electrodes 14A in the driving electrode 14 are mutually different. When voltage to be applied from the single power supply to the driving electrode 14 is gradually changed in each of the driving electrodes 14A, the micro capacitor is successively switched based on differences of pull-In voltages among respective capacitors, thus changing the capacity.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure frequency characteristics by suppressing the influence of interference that occurs between resonator elements, although it is necessary to construct an aggregate body structure by arraying a plurality of resonators in a two-dimensional manner in order to properly reduce impedance when applying, to a high-frequency filter, micro-resonator elements formed using a semiconductor process. SOLUTION: Each of resonator elements includes an input electrode, an output electrode and a diaphragm extending in a predetermined direction and passes a signal of a predetermined frequency, and the plurality of resonator elements are arrayed on a substrate over a plurality of columns. In a plurality of resonator elements F, each of a plurality of resonator elements arrayed on a column N1 has a phase P1 while each of a plurality of resonator elements arrayed on a column N2 has a phase P2 that becomes an inverse phase to the phase P1. Thus, since the influence of interference that occurs between the resonator elements F is suppressed, frequency characteristics are hardly deteriorated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
