Full-scale quantum computers require the integration of millions bits. The promise leveraging industrial semiconductor manufacturing to meet this requirement has fueled pursuit computing in silicon dots. However, date, their fabrication relied on electron-beam lithography and, with few exceptions, academic style lift-off processes. Although these techniques offer process flexibility, they suffer from low yield and poor uniformity. An important question is whether processing conditions...

We investigate the structural and quantum transport properties of isotopically enriched $^{28}$Si/$^{28}$SiO$_2$ stacks deposited on 300 mm Si wafers in an industrial CMOS fab. Highly uniform films are obtained with isotopic purity greater than 99.92\%. Hall-bar transistors equivalent oxide thickness 17 nm fabricated academic cleanroom.

Atomic-scale disorder at the top interface of a Si quantum well is known to suppress valley splitting. Such may be inherited from underlying substrate and relaxed buffer growth, but can also arise due random SiGe alloy. Here, we perform activation energy (transport) measurements in Hall regime determine source affecting We consider three Si/SiGe heterostructures with nominally identical substrates different barriers well, including two samples pure-Ge interfaces. For all samples, observe...

Quantum computing's value proposition of an exponential speedup in computing power for certain applications has propelled a vast array research across the globe. While several different physical implementations device level qubits are being investigated, semiconductor spin have many similarities to scaled transistors. In this article, we discuss device/integration full 300mm based qubit devices. This includes development (i) <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...

Quantum computing holds the promise of exponential speedup compared to classical for select algorithms and applications. Relatively small numbers logical quantum bits or qubits could outperform largest supercomputers. dots in Si-based heterostructures superconducting Josephson junctions are just two many approaches construct qubit. These, particular, bear similarities transistors interconnects used advanced semiconductor manufacturing. While initial results on few-qubit systems promising,...
