Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide semiconductor variable capacitors. One example semiconductor variable capacitor generally includes a semiconductor region, a first insulator region disposed below the semiconductor region, a first non-insulative region disposed below the first insulator region, a second non-insulative region disposed adjacent to the semiconductor region, and a third non-insulative region disposed adjacent to the semiconductor region, wherein the semiconductor region is disposed between the second non-insulative region and the third non-insulative region. In certain aspects, the semiconductor variable capacitor may include a second insulator region disposed above the semiconductor region and a second semiconductor region disposed above the second insulator region.
