Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when a voltage is applied to drive the movable electrode, the curved portion of the movable electrode comes into contact with the end of the fixed electrode, so that the fixed electrode, which occupies most of the capacitor area, is not in sufficient close contact with the planar portion of the movable electrode.
[0005] As a result, in the MEMS capacitor composed of the movable electrode and the fixed electrode (and the insulating film formed on the fixed electrode), problems such as not being able to obtain sufficient capacitance occur.
Furthermore, in switching elements using MEMS, problems such as unstable switching operations occur
In this way, there is a problem that excellent device characteristics cannot be obtained in devices formed using conventional MEMS

Description

[0001] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-54334 for which it applied in Japan on March 11, 2011, and uses the whole content for this specification. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System: Micro Electro Mechanical System) and its manufacturing method. Background technique [0003] A variable capacitance element using MEMS (hereinafter referred to as a MEMS capacitor) has a fixed electrode, a movable electrode provided above the fixed electrode, and an insulating film provided between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode. The movable electrode is formed on a sacrificial film formed on the fixed electrode by coating. [0004] In the MEMS capacitor having such a configuration, there are cases where the movable electrode is not formed flat due to unevenness of the base of the sacrificial film, that is, the fixed electrode located under the sacrificial film. For example, ...
