Characterization of top-gated Si/SiGe devices for spin qubit applications

摘要

Spins in gate-defined silicon quantum dots are at the forefront of solid-state qubit research. We characterize top-gated devices fabricated from Si/SiGe heterostructures, demonstrating the formation of stable double and triple quantum dots with proximal charge-sensing dots. We also demonstrate fabrication of linear dot arrays with overlapping gate technology, thereby significantly increasing the density of control electrodes relative to our single-gate-layer devices.
