[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] Based on the background art, silicon-based materials, due to the stress introduced during their growth, will form uniformly distributed cross-hatch patterns, also known as cross shadows, on their surface. Further accumulation of these cross-hatch patterns will produce deeper grooves and ridges. These deeper grooves and ridges have greater stress fluctuations, which will have a severe negative impact on qubits. As the qubit array gradually expands, the cumulative effect of strain will seriously affect the stability of the qubit expansion.

[0055] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a qubit electrode and its design method, as well as a qubit device. Silicon-based single / double / multiple quantum well qubit epitaxial structures are grown using epitaxial technology, and the surface morphology is comprehensively characterized. A qubit electrode structure and shape optimized for different materials are designed, and the overall stress condition of the qubit device is further improved by adjusting the shape and distribution of the qubit electrode, thus mitigating temperature-induced strain fluctuations. Ultimately, a novel qubit electrode structure is obtained, and silicon-based qubit devices are fabricated using this optimized qubit electrode structure. This provides a more stable qubit device unit array for large-scale qubit expansion, i.e., improving the stress fluctuations of the qubit device at the microscopic level, which has significant implications for qubit manipulation.

[0056] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a design method for a quantum bit electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention. The design method for a quantum bit electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0058] S101: Epitaxial growth of silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure, wherein the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure has a quantum well structure.

[0059] Specifically, the epitaxial growth of silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structures in this step includes: epitaxial growth of silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structures with single quantum wells; or, epitaxial growth of silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structures with double quantum wells; or, epitaxial growth of silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structures with multiple quantum wells.

[0060] In other words, the quantum well structure of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure in this embodiment of the invention can be a single quantum well structure, a double quantum well structure, or a multi-quantum well structure.

[0061] Optionally, silicon-based single / double / multiple quantum well structures, including Si MOS (Si Metal Oxide Semiconductor), bulk two-dimensional electron gas, and bulk two-dimensional hole gas, can be epitaxially grown on a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) production line using techniques such as RPCVD (Reduced Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition).

[0062] S102: Determine the strain distribution state of each region on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure.

[0063] Specifically, in this step, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another design method for a quantum bit electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. One possible implementation of step S102, "determining the strain distribution state of each region on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure," is as follows:

[0064] S1021: The surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure is processed by electron beam lithography and dry etching to divide it into multiple regions, and each region is marked with a location.

[0065] S1022: Determine the strain distribution state of each region on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure based on AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) technology.

[0066] S1023: Perform a magnified scan of each region to determine the distribution of grooves and ridges on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure.

[0067] In other words, reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure surface positioning marking provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure is positioned and marked by electron beam lithography and dry etching, and the strain distribution state of the structure surface within a preset scale range is confirmed by AFM scanning, for example, by scanning the structure surface in a large scale range of 50μm-100μm.

[0068] Optionally, in actual operation, different colored positioning marks can represent positioning marks of different shapes for rapid array positioning.

[0069] Furthermore, after the positioning and marking are completed, each region can be magnified and scanned, for example, a 10μm×10μm magnified scan can be performed on each region to determine the distribution of grooves and ridges on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure, that is, to accurately determine its cross-hatch surface distribution.

[0070] It should be noted that the reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another design method for a quantum bit electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. After step S102, which determines the strain distribution state of each region on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure, the design method further includes:

[0071] S107: Epitaxial growth of the corresponding working steps and gate oxide structure.

[0072] S103: Select a silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample, wherein the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample is the same as the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure.

[0073] Specifically, among the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structures grown in the same batch, one silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure is selected as a silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample to determine the corresponding stress accumulation wavelength, thereby determining the maximum electrode length of the quantum bit electrode in the working region.

[0074] S104: Process the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample to determine the maximum length of the quantum bit electrode in the working region. The maximum length of the electrode is lower than the stress accumulation wavelength of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample.

[0075] In this step, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating another design method for a quantum bit electrode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. One possible implementation of step S104, "processing the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample to determine the maximum electrode length of the quantum bit electrode in the working region, wherein the maximum electrode length is lower than the stress accumulation wavelength of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample," is as follows:

[0076] S1041: The surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample is etched down to the location of the quantum well structure.

[0077] S1042: Determine the fluctuation frequency of stress accumulation in the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample based on AFM technology, and determine the maximum electrode length of the quantum bit electrode in the working region based on the fluctuation frequency. The maximum electrode length is lower than the stress accumulation wavelength of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample.

[0078] In this embodiment of the invention, a silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample is selected, and the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample is etched using an etching solution. The etching rate is controlled to the position of the quantum well structure. Then, the etched silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample is characterized by AFM to confirm the fluctuation frequency of stress accumulation in the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample. This ensures that the maximum length of a single quantum bit electrode in the working area is lower than the stress accumulation wavelength.

[0079] For details, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the determination of stress accumulation wavelength according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of a process for determining the wavelength of stress accumulation, provided as an embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] S201: The silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample after etching was characterized by AFM technology to obtain the overall RMS roughness.

[0081] S202: Based on AFM analysis software, multiple one-dimensional morphological features are extracted from the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample.

[0082] S203: Perform peak counting on the one-dimensional morphology, wherein the minimum peak fluctuation is not lower than the overall RMS roughness.

[0083] S204: Calculate the average peak spacing, which is the stress accumulation wavelength of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample.

[0084] S205: Based on the stress accumulation wavelength of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample, determine the maximum electrode length of the quantum bit electrode in the working region.

[0085] S105: Based on the processing results of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure sample and the strain type of the quantum well structure, determine the target electrode growth region in each region on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure.

[0086] S106: Based on the target electrode growth region and the maximum length of the electrode, design the electrode shape of the qubit electrode.

[0087] Specifically, after determining the maximum length of the electrode, the shape of the surface qubit electrode is designed rationally, and the qubit electrode structure is optimized by using positioning marker overlay / atomic probe growth, so that the qubit is grown on the ridge or groove of the cross-hatch in a flat position, in order to obtain a qubit electrode that can offset the strain fluctuation effect at low temperature.

[0088] First, regions with a roughness higher than the overall RMS roughness are excluded; then, based on the divided regions, the shape of the qubit electrode is designed so that the working area is no larger than the maximum length of the electrode.

[0089] Determine the strain type of the quantum well structure; when the strain type is compressive strain, determine the target ridge position as the target electrode growth region in other regions on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure; that is, take the relatively flat ridge position as the target ridge position, and grow the designed quantum bit electrode on the relatively flat ridge position.

[0090] When the strain type is tensile strain, the target trench position is determined as the target electrode growth region in other regions on the surface of the silicon-based quantum bit epitaxial structure; that is, the relatively flat trench position is taken as the target trench position, and the designed quantum bit electrode is grown on the relatively flat trench position.

[0091] refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the growth position of a quantum bit electrode provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The control electrodes of the key working area AA and the quantum dot formation area BB of the quantum bit device are grown in a non-stress-accumulated area, and the width of the quantum dot and bit coupling working area should be less than the maximum length of the electrode.

[0092] It should be noted that, Figure 8 The image shows a compressive strain surface, with the qubit electrodes positioned at relatively flat ridge locations.

[0093] like Figure 8 As shown, taking the surface of a compressive strain sample as an example: the growth material can be Al or other electrode materials. Since its thermal shrinkage coefficient is greater than that of silicon-based quantum well materials, when the temperature drops to the working temperature (about 70mK), the mismatched dislocations on the surface of the compressive strain sample are squeezed at the groove due to thermal changes (arrow 1), while the larger relative shrinkage of the quantum bit electrode is opposite to the strain fluctuation of the surface mismatched dislocations (arrow 2).

[0094] It should be noted that, Figure 8 In the figure, Lm represents the maximum length of the electrode.

[0095] It should be noted that, in the top view of the optimized qubit electrode in the embodiments of the present invention, it can be a rectangle, square, rhombus, circle, etc., and is not limited to one type. In the overall view, it can be a cuboid, cylinder, frustum, cone, etc., and is not limited to one type. The oxide layer structure can be any gate oxide material such as aluminum oxide and hafnium oxide. The material of the qubit electrode can be Al, Ti / Au, or any metal conductor with thermal shrinkage effect, and is not limited to one type of material.

[0096] It should be further noted that the surface strain method on which the quantum bit electrode material is based in the embodiments of the present invention can be the compressive strain or tensile strain of the bulk material as proposed in the above embodiments, or it can be the surface strain fluctuation caused by any kind of strain.

[0097] It should be further noted that the implementation method and fabrication process of the surface strain-optimized qubit electrode in the embodiments of the present invention extend the protection to the fabrication process of various strained qubit electrodes such as strained germanium / silicon / silicon-germanium / gallium arsenide using this substrate structure (including but not limited to silicon, germanium-silicon, germanium-silicon stacked structures, etc.).

[0098] In summary, the design method for qubit electrodes provided in this invention effectively avoids stress accumulation locations caused by surface mismatch dislocation grids, reduces long-range impurity scattering in the quantum well due to surface roughness within the working region (S-QD-D) (i.e., source-quantum dot-drain), and cleverly suppresses strain fluctuations caused by surface mismatch dislocations and the electrode itself by utilizing the temperature-varying thermal contraction effect of the strain-optimized distributed electrode, ensuring the stability of strain band splitting of the qubit and laying the foundation for qubit expansion.
