    Abstract: A varactor is provided. A substrate includes a first surface, a second surface and a first opening and a second opening in the substrate. A conductive material is filling the first and second openings, to form a first through-wafer via (TWV) and a second through-wafer via. A first capacitor is coupled between the first through-wafer via and a first terminal. A second capacitor is coupled between the second through-wafer via and a second terminal. A capacitance of a depletion-region capacitor between the first through-wafer via and the second through-wafer via is determined by a bias voltage applied to the first through-wafer via and the second through-wafer via.
