  A technique for reducing the driving voltage of a variable capacitor or a switch formed by using a micromachine or a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technique has already been disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  In Patent Document 1, since not only electrostatic MEMS but also piezoelectric MEMS in which a piezoelectric layer is sandwiched between electrodes are used in order to reduce the drive voltage, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between piezoelectric MEMS due to temperature rise due to application of a high-frequency signal. The problem is likely to occur.

Further, in Patent Document 1, a high frequency (RF) fixed electrode and a fixed electrode for driving an electrostatic MEMS are provided in order to prevent the self-actuation in which the movable electrode is attracted to the fixed electrode by the electrostatic attraction force of the high frequency signal and the self-holding in which the movable electrode is not separated. Since it is necessary to separately arrange the high-frequency movable electrode and the drive movable electrode that face each other on the insulating drive arm, the manufacturing process becomes complicated and long in addition to the manufacturing process of the piezoelectric MEMS.

  In the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the frequency of the RF high frequency is a frequency that is appropriately selected according to the application field to which the semiconductor device is applied. For example, when applied to a mobile phone, it is several hundred MHz to several GHz.

(Electrostatic attraction)
Assume that the height of the gap is T ₁ , the thickness of the insulating film 12 is T ₂ , and the thickness of the dielectric substrate 24 is T ₃ . The area of the high-frequency fixed electrode 18 is S ₁ = W ₁ × L ₁ , and the area of the driving fixed electrode 16 is S ₂ = W ₂ × L ₂ . If the area of the movable electrode 10 other than S ₁ and S ₂ is sufficiently small, the electrostatic attractive force can be approximated as follows.

When the drive voltage V _DR is applied in a state where the drive voltage V _DR is not applied, the drive voltage V _DR is applied to T ₁ + T ₂ between the drive fixed electrode 16 and the movable electrode 10 facing the drive electrode V _DR , Electromotive force
F _DR-2 = ε ₀ S ₂ V _DR ² / {2 (T ₁ + T ₂ / ε _A ) ² }

It is characterized by applying.

When the drive voltage _VDR is also applied to the high-frequency fixed electrode 18 and the movable electrode 10 opposed thereto, the electrostatic attractive force

Since the driving voltage _VDR is applied via a bias circuit having a high impedance at least with respect to the RF high frequency, the bias circuit side can be ignored for the RF high frequency.

Since the lower electrode 22, the driving fixed electrode 16 and the movable electrode 10 are arranged in parallel, even if the driving fixed electrode 16 is divided finely, their potentials are the same. Therefore, the driving fixed electrode 16 can be ignored at RF high frequency, and electrostatic attraction

When the movable electrode 10 is attracted to the insulating film 12 (T ₁ = 0), the electrostatic attractive force is
F _RF-2 '= ε ₀ S ₂ V _RF ² / {2 (T ₂ / ε _A + T ₃ / ε _B ) ² }
F _RF-1 '= ε ₀ S ₁ (ε _A V _RF ) ² / (2T ₂ ² )
It becomes.
