Abstract
A variable capacitance device includes: a supporting substrate having a plurality of variable capacitance elements formed thereon, the plurality of variable capacitance elements being connected in series, wherein each of the plurality of variable capacitance elements has a separate lower electrode, or at least some of the plurality of variable capacitance elements share a lower electrode, thereby forming a plural set of the lower electrodes that serves as the lower electrodes of the respective variable capacitance elements, wherein the variable capacitance device further includes an insulating moisture-resistant film and a conductive adhesive film, and wherein the conductive adhesive film and the insulating moisture-resistant film have a gap in a plan view between at least some of regions where the plural set of the lower electrodes are respectively formed so as to avoid electrical leakage between said at least some of regions through the conductive adhesive film.
