ABSTRACT:
A variable capacitive semiconductor element is connected to a piezo-electric resonator for controlling the oscillating frequency thereof according to the variable capacitance of the capacitive element. The variable capacitive semiconductor element comprises a floating electrode disposed on and electrically isolated from a semiconductor substrate for storing electric charge to form a capacitance region in the semiconductor substrate, a control electrode for injecting electric charge into the floating electrode to determine the amount of capacitance, and a terminal electrode for connecting the variable capacitive element to the piezo-electric resistor. A bias circuit is connected to apply a given voltage to the terminal electrode to adjust the amount of capacitance according to the given voltage.
