Abstract

A method for forming a variable capacitor including a conductive strip covering the inside of a cavity, and a flexible conductive membrane placed above the cavity, the cavity being formed according to the steps of: forming a recess in the substrate; placing a malleable material in the recess; having a stamp bear against the substrate at the level of the recess to give the upper part of the malleable material a desired shape; hardening the malleable material; and removing the stamp.
