Abstract: A variable capacitor includes an enclosure having first and second conductive collars separated by an intermediate electrically insulating element. A movable capacitor plate assembly is electrically coupled to the first conductive collar, and a fixed capacitor plate assembly is electrically coupled to the second conductive collar. An actuator extends into the enclosure for advancing and retracting the movable capacitor plate assembly relative to the fixed capacitor plate assembly. A hermetically sealed volume within the enclosure maintains a vacuum or a liquid serving as a dielectric between a capacitor plate of the movable capacitor plate assembly and a capacitor plate of the fixed capacitor plate assembly. At least one capacitor plate comprises a coiled cylindrical plate having a having a greater height at a center portion of the capacitor plate coil and a lower height at an outer portion of the capacitor plate coil.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a compensation capacitor for an antenna of a magnetic resonance scanner and a corresponding antenna with a compensation capacitor. The compensation capacitor has a first electrode and a second electrode arranged in parallel. An insulation material configured to resist high voltages and a dielectric with low dielectric losses are arranged between the first and the second electrode. The second electrode and/or the dielectric may be moved relative to the first electrode such that a surface area of a projection of the surface of the first electrode along the surface normal of the first electrode to the surface of the second electrode and/or the dielectric is variable.

Abstract: A variable capacitor is disclosed. The variable capacitor includes a multi-layer ceramic capacitor member, and a capacitance varying mechanism. The multi-layer ceramic capacitor member includes one or two external electrode(s), a ceramic dielectric, and a plurality of electrode layers positioned inside the ceramic dielectric. The capacitance varying mechanism includes an electrical conductor positioned aside and approximate to the ceramic dielectric. The electrical conductor is deformable responsive to a pressure applied thereon, and an area of the electrical conductor in contact with the ceramic dielectric varies in accordance with the pressure, thus varying a capacitance value between the external electrode(s) and the electrical conductor. In general, the external electrode(s) of the multi-layer ceramic capacitor member serve(s) as fixed electrode(s) of the variable capacitor.

Abstract: An apparatus for plasma processing includes a chamber, a substrate support having a lower electrode and an electrostatic chuck disposed on the lower electrode and configured to support a substrate mounted on the electrostatic chuck in the chamber, and a radio frequency power supply configured to supply a radio frequency power to generate plasma in the chamber. Further, in the apparatus, a bias power supply supplies a bias power. A first electrical path electrically connects the bias power supply and the lower electrode, and a second electrical path that is different from the first electrical path and the lower electrode is configured to supply the bias power from the lower electrode or the first electrical path to an edge ring disposed to surround an edge of the substrate. Further, an impedance adjuster provides a variable impedance to the second electrical path.

Abstract: A variable vacuum capacitor is described in which oil inside the main bellows (21) is pumped through the bellows and through the oil circuit (8) of a heat exchanger by a pump (15). Water passes through coolant channels (6) of the heat exchanger, from inlet (7) to outlet (7′). The extendable capacitor drive shaft (14) is hollow and serves as a conduit, conveying the oil to the bottom of the (bellows 21), thereby ensuring a full circulation of the oil right through the bellows and then through the heat exchanger. Pump drive means (9) may be a gerotor hydraulic motor, coupled to a gerotor oil pump (15) via magnetic coupling (22). Pumping heat transfer fluid (oil) through the bellows allows the capacitor to operate at significantly higher currents and/or lower temperatures, and significantly extends the life of the device.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a MEMS DVC having a shielding electrode structure between the RF electrode and one or more other electrodes that cause a plate to move. The shielding electrode structure may be grounded and, in essence, block or shield the RF electrode from the one or more electrodes that cause the plate to move. By shielding the RF electrode, coupling of the RF electrode to the one or more electrodes that cause the plate to move is reduced and capacitance modulation is reduced or even eliminated.
