Abstract

A capacitive device includes a substrate (110), a first electrode (130, 140, 1220) located over the substrate and a second electrode (170, 1070, 1071, 1250) located over the first electrode, movable relative to the first electrode, and capacitively coupled to the first electrode. The device further includes a first control electrode (120, 150, 1210) located over the substrate and a second control electrode (160, 180, 1060, 1061, 1080, 1081, 1240) located over the first control electrode, movable relative to the first control electrode, and capacitively coupled to the first control electrode. The first and second control electrodes actuate the second electrode toward the first electrode.
