Abstract
A variable capacitance device includes: capacitors coupled in series between first and second signal terminal electrodes, each of the capacitors having a dielectric layer, a lower electrode and an upper electrode, a permittivity of the dielectric layer changing according to a voltage applied to the dielectric layer, the lower and upper electrodes sandwiching the dielectric layer; resistance films coupled between the capacitors and a bias terminal electrode; a first insulating film that contacts the resistance films; and a second insulating film that covers the capacitors, the resistance films and the first insulating film, wherein: a thermal conductivity of the first insulating film is larger than that of the second insulating film; and at least one of the resistance films has a pair of connection patterns provided on both ends thereof and resistance patterns that are coupled in parallel between the connection patterns.
