We study the effect on the microwave S-parameters of adding a conjugated polymer layer to a deoxyribonucleic acid-based (DNA-based) biopolymer within a variable capacitor (varactor) using a capacitive test structure. The conjugated polymer we are using in this work is poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and the DNA-based biopolymer is DNA-CTMA. The results are compared to both the baseline DNA-based biopolymer and the conjugated polymer layer added to a layer of polyvinyl alcohol. The addition of the conjugated polymer layer underneath the DNA-based biopolymer is found to most significantly improve the stability and dielectric tuning of the DNA-based biopolymer.
