Abstract

Nickel electroplating is used to fabricate a widely tunable micromachined capacitor. From an initial capacitance of 0.7 pF, the device has a tuning ratio of 5.1:1 including parasitics: this is better than twice any previously reported figure for such devices. A process flow is presented which includes electrode surface roughening for stiction avoidance.
