Abstract

A device architecture is proposed to improve the linearity of barium strontium titanate (BST) capacitors while maintaining the tunability and the quality factor. Thin-film parallel plate capacitors are fabricated utilizing the proposed architecture. The measurement results successfully demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. Up to 14 dB of improvement on IIP3 is observed.
