Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide semiconductor variable capacitors. One example semiconductor variable capacitor generally includes a semiconductor region, an insulative layer, and a first non-insulative region, the insulative layer being disposed between the semiconductor region and the first non-insulative region. In certain aspects, the semiconductor variable capacitor may also include a second non-insulative region disposed adjacent to the semiconductor region, and a third non-insulative region disposed adjacent to the semiconductor region, the second non-insulative region and the third non-insulative region having different doping types. In certain aspects, the semiconductor variable capacitor may also include an implant region disposed between the semiconductor region and the insulative layer. The implant region may be used to adjust the flat-band voltage of the semiconductor variable capacitor.
