Abstract

An electrical device having a voltage dependent capacitance is provided comprising a first region of a semiconductor material, and a second region and a third region of a semiconductor material formed in the first region, the second and third regions being separated by a separation region, and an electrically insulating layer formed on the first region at least at a region corresponding to the separation region, and a substantially conductive element formed on the insulating layer at least at a region corresponding to the separation region such that the insulating layer electrically insulates the substantially conductive element from the first, second and third regions, and a first electrode connected to the substantially conductive element, and a second electrode and third electrode are connected to the second and third regions. A method of manufacturing the device is also disclosed.
