Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chip technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a quantum chip and the quantum chip. Background Art

[0002] The field of quantum computing is steadily moving toward practical application. Superconducting quantum computing, with its unique advantages, has become one of the most promising paths to its realization. However, as the number of qubits increases, crosstalk between them becomes increasingly prominent, hindering the accurate reading and efficient manipulation of bit information and becoming a significant technical bottleneck.

[0003] In the current planar chip process, in order to effectively alleviate the crosstalk problem between adjacent bits, the air bridge solution has become the mainstream technical choice. The implementation process of this solution is sophisticated and complex, and the cumbersome operation process inevitably has a negative impact on the performance of the prepared device, resulting in a decrease in its overall performance. In addition, a large number of bridge structures are arranged on both sides of the resonant cavity, read line and control line to balance the potential difference, but this layout cannot completely block the crosstalk between adjacent signals. Signals may still be transmitted through the air and cause crosstalk, thereby affecting the precise operation of quantum bits and information reading. At the same time, the mechanical strength of the air bridge and tunnel bridge structures is low, and there is a high risk of collapse. The air bridge solution still has certain limitations and cannot solve the problem of signal crosstalk between adjacent bits.

[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN116600630A discloses a method for manufacturing a quantum chip and a flip chip, wherein a first interconnecting column and a second interconnecting column are used to form an interconnection structure to realize the connection between the two chips. The flip-chip interconnection part is, for example, an indium column, and an isolation material such as titanium nitride is configured between the indium column and the aluminum. This technology ensures the quality of the line connection when the pad is subsequently used for wire bonding by configuring the pad for wire bonding inside the chip substrate. Chinese invention patent application CN119136646 A discloses a superconducting quantum flip chip and a preparation method, wherein a metal part is prepared on the lower substrate, a TiN layer is used to contact the metal part, and a groove design of the lower substrate is used without a separate limiting layer, thereby realizing high-precision pressure welding connection between the upper and lower chips and improving the comprehensive performance of the superconducting quantum flip chip. However, these technologies have not solved the technical problem of signal crosstalk between adjacent quantum chips.

[0005] In this context, how to prepare a quantum chip that can effectively reduce crosstalk between adjacent signals, optimize the electromagnetic environment inside the chip, and improve the stability and accuracy of signal transmission has become a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in this field.

[0042] Beneficial effects:

[0043] The present invention provides a quantum chip and a preparation method thereof, which have the following advantages:

[0044] (1) The present invention introduces an isolation layer and a connection layer into the chip structure, realizes the electrical connection between the first chip and the second chip through the connection layer, and plays a limiting support role. The isolation layer separates different circuit areas to prevent interference between bit signals and ensure the stability and reliability of the circuit.

[0045] (2) The present invention further adopts a flip-chip structure design, where the superconducting circuit layer and the Josephson junction are arranged on the first chip, the isolation layer and the connection layer are arranged on the second chip, and the first chip and the second chip are fixedly connected by using flip-chip welding technology. The method of independently preparing the isolation layer and the connection layer on the second chip avoids the negative impact of the processing process on the bits and other devices on the quantum chip, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of signal transmission.

[0046] (3) The present invention can isolate key components such as the resonant cavity, control line, transmission line, and bit in the quantum chip in three-dimensional space by designing the isolation layer and the connection layer in conjunction with the pressure welding process, forming independent entities and shielding crosstalk information. At the same time, it retains the normal coupling, reading, and manipulation capabilities between circuit components, providing a guarantee for efficient and stable circuit operation.

[0047] (4) The present invention is flexible in its implementation. The superconducting metal materials for the isolation layer and the connecting layer can be flexibly selected based on design requirements, and the preparation methods of the isolation layer and the connecting layer can be adaptively adjusted. When the isolation layer and the connecting layer are made of the same material and have the same thickness, the pattern structures of the isolation layer and the connecting layer can be simultaneously defined on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer, thereby simultaneously preparing the isolation layer and the connecting layer, simplifying the operation process.

[0048] (5) When the thickness of the second superconducting metal layer is relatively large, different methods can be selected to evaporate or etch the surface of the second superconducting metal layer to obtain an isolation layer. In particular, the second superconducting metal layer can be directly etched to form a "convex" shape, thereby obtaining an isolation layer. This not only simplifies the operation process but also ensures the isolation and shielding effects of the signal, thereby improving chip performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0133] Optionally, when the connecting layer and the isolation layer are made of the same material, the thickness of the isolation layer is greater than or equal to the thickness of the connecting layer.

[0134] In quantum chips, quantum bits (qubits) control their quantum states through Josephson junctions (composed of a superconductor, insulator, and superconductor). These bits typically operate under microwave signals in the GHz frequency band, and electromagnetic coupling between adjacent bits (such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, or microwave leakage) can lead to signal crosstalk. The present invention provides a connecting layer and an isolation layer made of superconducting metal on the second superconducting metal layer. By leveraging the near-zero resistance of superconducting metal, the high-frequency alternating electromagnetic field induces eddy currents on the surface of the superconducting isolation layer, further attenuating the signal penetration depth. Furthermore, the isolation layer, located between the first and second superconducting metal layers, covers the devices on the quantum chip circuit, providing independent, three-dimensional protection for each device and repelling external magnetic fields, forming a completely antimagnetic shielding layer to avoid signal crosstalk. When the electromagnetic field (such as microwaves or magnetic flux) of an adjacent bit attempts to penetrate the isolation layer, the superconducting current induces an opposing magnetic field, counteracting the effects of the external field. By setting up an isolation layer and utilizing the quantum properties of superconducting materials and their adaptability to low-temperature environments, signal crosstalk caused by factors such as microwaves, magnetic flux or capacitive coupling can be suppressed at the source, achieving independent isolation and shielding effects at the source, effectively avoiding the signal crosstalk problem when the number of quantum bits is large.

[0135] Furthermore, the present invention sets the connection layer and the isolation layer to work together to construct a multi-dimensional signal crosstalk suppression system. The isolation layer blocks the crosstalk caused by capacitance, inductance or magnetic flux leakage between quantum bits through the electromagnetic shielding characteristics of superconducting materials, and the connection layer forms an electromagnetic shielding cavity or a low-impedance path through the conductivity and geometric design of superconducting metals to solve the problem of external signal coupling. The closed area constructed by the connection layer in the quantum chip structure limits the external electromagnetic field to the periphery of the cavity, and the isolation layer further attenuates the residual field to below the sensitivity threshold of the quantum bit. Through the coordination of material properties, electromagnetic shielding mechanism and three-dimensional integration process, signal crosstalk is suppressed from two dimensions: internal near-field coupling and external far-field interference.

For example, the second substrate (clean sapphire substrate) is placed in a magnetron sputtering device, heated to 800°C, and then the vacuum degree is ≤1e - 9 A Ta film with a thickness of 0.2 μm is grown at torr to obtain the second superconducting metal layer:

[0151] In some embodiments, a positive photoresist is used for photolithography patterning to construct a pattern structure of the isolation layer. For example, a pre-coated glue (LOR10A) with a thickness of 2 μm is coated on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer, which is transferred to a hot plate and baked at 120°C for 2 minutes, and then a positive photoresist (AZ6130) with a thickness of 3 μm is coated, a mask is placed on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer coated with the positive photoresist, a stepper photolithography machine is used to expose for 0.5 seconds, and then a developer (2.38 wt% TMAH aqueous solution) is used to treat for 45 seconds, and after being taken out, it is transferred to a hot plate and baked at 100°C for 2 minutes to complete the graphic structure definition of the isolation layer; after baking, it is transferred to an electron beam coating device, and the metal surface oxide layer is removed by Ar ion cleaning, and then an Al film with a thickness of 2 μm (corresponding to the first superconducting metal) is evaporated; after evaporation, it is transferred to NMP at 90°C and allowed to stand for 4 hours to remove the glue and strip off the photoresist and excess metal, and then ultrasonically cleaned with isopropyl alcohol for 3 minutes, replaced with isopropyl alcohol and cleaned again, taken out and blown dry with N2 to complete the preparation of the isolation layer;

A mask is placed on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer coated with the positive photoresist, exposed for 0.5 seconds using a stepper lithography machine, and then treated with a developer (2.38 wt% TMAH aqueous solution) for 45 seconds. After being taken out, it is transferred to a hot plate and baked at 100°C for 2 minutes to complete the graphic structure definition of the connection layer; after baking, it is transferred to an electron beam coating device, and the metal surface oxide layer is removed by Ar ion cleaning, and then an In film with a thickness of 3 μm (corresponding to the second superconducting metal) is evaporated; after evaporation, it is transferred to NMP at 90°C and allowed to stand for 4 hours to remove the glue and strip off the photoresist and excess metal, and then ultrasonically cleaned with isopropyl alcohol for 3 minutes, replaced with isopropyl alcohol for cleaning again, taken out and blown dry with N2 to complete the preparation of the connection layer; a second chip structure containing an isolation layer and a connection layer is obtained.

[0155] In this embodiment, the first superconducting metal is Al, and the second superconducting metal is In, that is, the isolation layer and the connection layer are made of different materials.

[0156] S3. Connecting the first chip structure to the second chip structure, so that the connecting layer and the isolation layer are both connected to the first superconducting metal layer, and the isolation layer independently isolates the devices of the quantum chip circuit.

[0157] In some embodiments, a bonding operation is used to connect the first chip structure to the second chip structure. For example:

[0158] The first chip structure and the second chip structure are cleaned with H2 plasma for 10 minutes under normal pressure; then, the second chip is flipped vertically under the protection of N2 atmosphere and horizontally aligned with the second chip, so that the connecting layer and the isolation layer are connected to the first superconducting metal layer, and the isolation layer forms an independent isolation for the devices of the quantum chip circuit; the first chip and the second chip are pressure-welded using a flip-chip welding device, with a pressure of 10 kg and a temperature of 120°C during pressure welding, and maintained for 5 minutes to obtain a finished superconducting quantum flip-chip product.

[0159] After pressure welding, the bonding distance between the first chip and the second chip is 2 μm.

[0160] A second aspect of this embodiment provides a quantum chip, including:

The isolation layer is arranged corresponding to the quantum chip circuit to independently isolate the devices of the quantum chip circuit.

[0163] The device includes a resonant cavity, a control line, a transmission line and a quantum bit.

[0164] The connection layer is made of superconducting metal In, and the isolation layer is made of superconducting metal Al.

[0165] The height of the isolation layer is denoted as h1, the height of the connection layer is denoted as h2, and the distance between the second superconducting metal layer and the first superconducting metal layer is denoted as h3.

[0168] The preparation method provided in this embodiment adopts the method of first evaporating an Al film on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer to prepare an isolation layer, and then evaporating an In film on the non-isolation layer area of ​​the second superconducting metal layer to prepare a connection layer, which effectively avoids bit signal crosstalk. By selectively forming a composite structure of an Al-based isolation layer and an In-based connection layer on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer, the Al-based isolation layer suppresses the near-field coupling between adjacent quantum bits through superconducting anti-magnetism, and the In-based connection layer constructs a low-impedance interconnection channel through plastic deformation bonding, achieving omnidirectional anti-crosstalk coverage to ensure normal coupling, reading, and manipulation capabilities between circuit devices. At the same time, the isolation layer and the connection layer are independently prepared on the second chip, the quantum circuit is constructed on the first chip, and the architecture design for connection is then connected using pressure welding technology. This can avoid the negative impact of the processing operations of the isolation layer and the connection layer on the device to the greatest extent, and ensure the performance of the chip.

[0175] S2.1 providing a second substrate, and growing a second superconducting metal layer on the second substrate;

[0176] In some embodiments, the second superconducting metal layer is grown on the second substrate by evaporation. For example, the second substrate (clean sapphire substrate) is placed in a magnetron sputtering device, heated to 800°C, and then the vacuum degree is ≤1e - 9 A Ta film with a thickness of 0.2 μm is grown at torr to obtain the second superconducting metal layer:

For example, a pre-coated glue (LOR20A) with a thickness of 4 μm is coated on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer, transferred to a hot plate at 120°C and baked for 2 minutes, and then a positive photoresist (AZ6130) with a thickness of 3 μm is coated. A mask is placed on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer coated with the positive photoresist, and a stepper lithography machine is used to expose for 0.5 seconds, and then a developer (2.38 wt% TMAH aqueous solution) is used for 45 seconds. After being taken out, it is transferred to a hot plate at 100°C and baked for 2 minutes to complete the graphic structure of the isolation layer and the connection layer.

[0184] A second aspect of this embodiment provides a quantum chip, and the chip structure is the same as that of embodiment 1.

[0185] The preparation method provided in this embodiment prepares the isolation layer and the connection layer at the same time, and is mainly applicable to the case where the material and thickness requirements of the isolation layer and the connection layer are the same. During operation, photolithography patterning is performed on the surface of the second superconducting metal layer, and the graphic structure of the isolation layer and the connection layer is constructed at the same time, and then the In film is evaporated to obtain the isolation layer and the connection layer. The In film of this scheme plays the dual role of isolation layer and connection layer, which can not only isolate and shield the signal crosstalk between independent components, but also construct a low-impedance interconnection channel. The use of a simple second chip preparation process combined with pressure welding technology can avoid the negative impact of the processing operations of the isolation layer and the connection layer on the device to the greatest extent, effectively avoid bit signal crosstalk while improving processing efficiency, improve chip performance, and facilitate implementation.
