[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily. The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical scheme in this application comply with the relevant provisions of laws and regulations. The user information in the embodiments of the present application is obtained through legal and compliant channels, and the acquisition, storage, use, and processing of user information are authorized and agreed by the customer.
[0041] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution provided by this application, the relevant contents of the technical solution of this application are first explained below.
[0042] In a typical superconducting qubit structure, the superconducting resonator consists of a meandering section of a coplanar waveguide transmission line, with both ends of the resonator terminated in an open or short-circuited manner to ground. To achieve readout multiplexing, multiple resonators are coupled to a shared feed line, with one end of each resonator close to the shared transmission line and the other end close to the readout end of the qubit. In the case of weak external coupling and high internal quality factor, the frequency of the resonator is determined by the inductance and capacitance per unit length and the total length of the resonator. Although using coplanar waveguide resonators is very simple from a design and manufacturing perspective, these resonators occupy a large area.
[0043] In the Transmon / Xmon structure design that is currently widely used, the bypass capacitor in the quantum bit is generally a coplanar capacitor, that is, the two plates of the capacitor are in the same plane. In this case, the distribution of the electric field is uneven, and the plane area occupancy rate is too large, which limits the integration density of the quantum bit to a certain extent. In the prior art, a parallel plate capacitor with a vacuum gap has also appeared as a bypass capacitor for the quantum bit. Although this technology initially transforms the capacitor into a vertical structure, the plane size of the parallel plate capacitor is still too large, and the size advantage is limited.
[0044] Therefore, the present invention proposes a new three-dimensional quantum bit, three-dimensional resonant cavity and core-grained structure based on advanced packaging technology, and replaces the capacitor structure in the planar design with a deep trench capacitor (DTC) to achieve the three-dimensionalization and core-grained transformation of the superconducting quantum bit. It breaks the area limitation in the planar design and proposes a new three-dimensional quantum bit architecture, making the superconducting quantum bit itself more compatible with the needs of core-grained integration. It is also conducive to the realization of scalable and large-scale superconducting quantum chips based on core-grained design methodology.
[0045] Taking the commonly used Transmon qubit as an example, the shunt capacitor of its high quality factor is generally realized by a large-size coplanar capacitor, and the superconducting microwave resonator used for qubit state readout is composed of millimeter-level coplanar waveguides, both of which occupy a large amount of plane area. In this application, DTC has a vertical structure with a high aspect ratio, which can be used to construct a large self-capacitance, so it can replace the coplanar capacitor required for the qubit, and is more conducive to the vertical interconnection structure of FC, TSV, etc. as a qubit, The vertical coupling node of the three-dimensional transformation of the resonant cavity. Under the guidance of this idea, the planar size of the superconducting qubit is expected to be reduced by dozens of times. When the diameter of the DTC is very small and reaches the order of hundreds of nanometers, the Josephson junction itself will limit the integration density, rather than the bypass capacitor. The pitch between qubits can be further reduced, which helps to achieve a quantum processor with a larger integration scale.
[0046] Furthermore, the novel superconducting quantum bit based on DTC proposed in the embodiment of the present invention can provide a very high capacitance value in a very small planar size. Relevant research shows that the use of DTC can save about 90% of the silicon area, greatly improving the design efficiency.

The deep trench capacitor 2-2 is a vertical capacitor structure with multiple parallel conductive layers-dielectric layers-conductive layers formed in a blind hole with a high aspect ratio. The deep trench capacitor 2-2 is used as a bypass capacitor for superconducting quantum bits. While being able to significantly extend the decoherence time of the quantum bits, it can also reduce the occupied area, thereby being able to reduce the planar size of the superconducting quantum bits. When the size of the deep trench capacitor 2-2 is very small and reaches the order of hundreds of nanometers, the Josephson junction itself, rather than the bypass capacitor, will limit the integration density.

[0098] In the process of three-dimensional transformation of superconducting quantum bits, this application directly introduces a three-dimensional structure based on DTC inside the core quantum components, which makes it have significant advantages in three-dimensional integration process compatibility and modular assembly, and is more conducive to the physical realization of the core particle architecture. Through the screening of known good core particles (KGC), the high yield of the core particles used in the system integration stage can be guaranteed, thereby solving the problem that the overall yield of superconducting quantum bits and superconducting quantum chips decreases rapidly as the integration scale increases.
[0099] The core particle bonding and core particle-adapter board package bonding steps can be completed in one bonding process after placement, shortening the process steps and reducing the adverse effects of repeated heating and cooling processes on the Josephson junction. The package substrate allows multiple adapter boards to be mounted, and different types of quantum bit core particles can be mounted between different adapter boards, which greatly improves the large-scale scalability of the system while ensuring the yield rate, and helps to provide a more convenient test platform for the horizontal comparison of the performance of different types of quantum bits.

The vertical structure with a high aspect ratio can be used to construct a DTC structure with a small footprint and a large capacitance value, so it can replace the large-size coplanar capacitors required for quantum bits. At the same time, it is more conducive to the vertical interconnection structure of FC, TSV, etc. as the vertical coupling node after the three-dimensional transformation of quantum bits and resonant cavities.
[0102] (2) For new DTC-based bits, DTC can provide very high capacitance values in a very small planar size, greatly improving design efficiency and flexibility.
[0103] (3) The three-dimensional transformation process directly introduces a three-dimensional interconnection structure into the core quantum components, which gives them significant advantages in three-dimensional integration process compatibility and modular assembly, and is more conducive to the physical realization of the core particle architecture.
[0104] (4) A complete multi-chip integrated packaging architecture was designed, taking into account the comprehensive needs of superconducting quantum chips such as cost control, decoherence suppression, and electrical signal transmission links.
[0105] (5) By screening known good core particles, the high yield of the core particles used in the system integration stage can be guaranteed, thereby solving the problem that the overall yield of superconducting quantum processors decreases rapidly as the integration scale increases.
[0106] (6) When manufacturing superconducting quantum bits, the core particle bonding and the core particle-adapter plate package bonding steps can be completed as a whole through a one-time bonding process after placement, shortening the process steps and reducing the adverse effects of repeated heating and cooling processes on the Josephson junction.
[0107] (7) The packaging substrate allows the installation of multiple adapter plates, and different types of quantum bit cores can be installed between different adapter plates. This greatly improves the large-scale scalability of the system while ensuring the yield rate. At the same time, it helps to provide a convenient testing platform for the horizontal comparison of the performance of different types of quantum bits.
