[0064] To make the objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application are described in further detail below with reference to the drawings. Here, the schematic embodiments of the present application and the descriptions thereof are used to explain the present application but are not used as limitations of the present application. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner without conflict. The acquisition, storage, use, processing, etc. of data in the technical solutions in the present application all comply with relevant provisions of laws and regulations. The user information in the embodiments of the present application is obtained through a legal and compliant manner, and the acquisition, storage, use, processing, etc. of the user information is authorized and agreed by the client.

[0065] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided by the present application, the related content of the technical solutions of the present application is described first below.

[0066] In a typical superconducting quantum bit structure, a superconducting resonant cavity is composed of a meandering part of a coplanar waveguide transmission line. In order to realize readout multiplexing, multiple resonant cavities are coupled to a shared feed line, one end of each resonant cavity is close to the shared feed line, and the other end is close to the readout end of the quantum bit. In the case of weak external coupling and high internal quality factor, the frequency of the resonant cavity is determined by the inductance, capacitance per unit length, and total length of the resonant cavity. Although it is very simple to use a coplanar waveguide resonant cavity from the perspective of design and manufacturing, these resonant cavities occupy a large area from the perspective of space utilization.

[0067] In the currently widely used Transmon / Xmon structure design, the bypass capacitance in the quantum bit is generally a coplanar capacitance, 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 planar area occupancy is too large, which limits the integration density of the quantum bit to some extent. In the prior art, a parallel-plate capacitor with a real space gap is also used as a bypass capacitance for a quantum bit. Although this technology initially transforms the capacitor into a vertical structure, the planar size of the parallel-plate capacitor is still too large, and the size advantage is limited.

[0068] Therefore, the application proposes a new three-dimensional quantum bit, a three-dimensional resonant cavity and a core granulation structure based on advanced packaging technology. The deep trench capacitor (DTC) is used to replace the capacitor structure in the planar design, thereby realizing the three-dimensionalization and core granulation transformation of the superconducting quantum bit. The area limitation in the planar design is broken, and a new three-dimensional quantum bit architecture is proposed, which makes the superconducting quantum bit itself more compatible with the demand of core granulation integration. It is also conducive to realizing the scalability and large-scale superconducting quantum chip based on the core granulation design methodology.

[0069] Taking the commonly used Transmon quantum bit as an example, the shunt capacitor with a high quality factor is generally realized by a large-size coplanar capacitor, and the superconducting microwave resonant cavity for quantum bit state reading out is composed of a millimeter-level coplanar waveguide, both of which occupy a large planar area. The DTC in the present application has a high aspect ratio vertical structure and can be used to construct a large self-capacitor, so it can replace the coplanar capacitor required by the quantum bit, and it is more conducive to the vertical interconnection structure of the FC, TSV, etc. as the vertical coupling node for the three-dimensional transformation of the quantum bit and the resonant cavity. Under the guidance of this idea, the planar size of the superconducting quantum bit is expected to be reduced by tens of times. When the DTC diameter is very small and reaches the order of hundreds of nanometers, the integrated density will be limited by the Josephson junction itself rather than the bypass capacitor. The pitch between quantum bits can be further reduced, which helps to realize a larger integrated scale of quantum processors.

[0070] Further, the new superconducting quantum bit based on the DTC proposed in the embodiments of the application can provide a very high capacitance value at a very small planar size, greatly improving the design efficiency.

[0071] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the superconducting quantum bit provided by the first embodiment of the application.

The deep trench capacitor 2-2 is embedded in the carrier sheet 2-1, and the filling dielectric layer 2-3 covers the carrier sheet 2-1 and the deep trench capacitor 2-2. The deep trench capacitor 2-2 is electrically connected with the Josephson junction 1.

[0073] Specifically, the Josephson junction 1 can be selected for preparation of Al-based, Nb-based, Ta-based, etc. materials, and the Josephson junction 1 and other necessary functional auxiliary structures are used to construct various types of quantum bits. The constructed quantum bits can be flux, charge, phase, Transmon, etc. quantum bit types. The carrier sheet 2-1 can be selected from intrinsic silicon, epitaxially grown silicon, sapphire, silicon on insulator (SOI), quartz, germanium, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, crystalline quartz, sapphire, diamond, and one or more ceramics, etc. The deep trench capacitor 2-2 is a vertical capacitor structure with multiple parallel conductive layer-dielectric layer-conductive layer formed in a high aspect ratio blind hole, and the deep trench capacitor 2-2 is used as a bypass capacitor of a superconducting quantum bit, which can help to greatly extend the quantum bit decoherence time while reducing the occupied area, thereby reducing the planar size of the superconducting quantum bit. When the size of the deep trench capacitor 2-2 is very small to reach the order of hundreds of nanometers, the integrated density will be limited by the Josephson junction itself rather than the bypass capacitor. The deep trench capacitor 2-2 can provide very high capacitance at a smaller planar size, thereby saving silicon area.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the first conductive layer 2-2-1 of the deep trench capacitor 2-2 is electrically connected with the first plate 1-1 of the Josephson junction 1, and the second conductive layer 2-2-2 of the deep trench capacitor 2-2 is electrically connected with the second plate 1-2 of the Josephson junction 1.

The adapter plate 3 is bonded to the filling medium layer 2-3, so that the core particle 2 can be flip-chip bonded to the adapter plate 3. The adapter plate 3 can be bonded to the filling medium layer 2-3 through the first bump 4 and the second bump 6.

[0078] The Josephson junction 1 comprises the first electrode plate 1-1 and the second electrode plate 1-2.

[0112] For example, the plurality of superconducting qubits 801 exist superconducting qubits 801 with different deep trench capacitor structures.

[0113] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first data transmission link 806 includes a first transmission line 806-1, a first superconducting conductive part 806-2, a first superconducting coaxial bump 806-3, a second superconducting conductive part 806-4, a second transmission line 806-5, and a control coaxial line 806-6 connected in sequence; the first transmission line 806-1 is coupled to the first electrode plate 801-1-1 of the Josephson junction 801-1, the control coaxial line 806-6 is arranged on the PCB board 803, the second superconducting conductive part 806-4 penetrates the packaging substrate 802, and the first superconducting conductive part 806-2 penetrates the adapter board 801-3 or penetrates the carrier sheet 801-2-1 and the filling medium layer 801-2-3.

[0114] Specifically, the external control signal is transmitted to the first electrode plate 801-1-1 of the Josephson junction 801-1 in sequence through the control coaxial line 806-6, the second transmission line 806-5, the second superconducting conductive part 806-4, the first superconducting coaxial bump 806-3, the first superconducting conductive part 806-2, and the first transmission line 806-1. The first transmission line 806-1 is coupled to the first electrode plate 801-1-1 of the Josephson junction 801-1. The second superconducting conductive part 806-4 can be obtained by punching a hole on the packaging substrate 802 and filling superconducting metal. When the Josephson junction 1 is arranged on the adapter board 801-3, the first superconducting conductive part 806-2 can be obtained by punching a hole on the adapter board 801-3 and filling superconducting metal-dielectric layer-superconducting metal-dielectric layer through a superconducting coaxial TSV filling technology. When the Josephson junction 1 is arranged on the filling medium layer 801-2-3, the first superconducting conductive part 806-2 can be obtained by filling superconducting metal-dielectric layer-superconducting metal-dielectric layer in the through hole penetrating the carrier sheet 801-2-1 and the filling medium layer 801-2-3 through a superconducting coaxial TSV preparation technology. The superconducting metal includes but is not limited to aluminum, niobium, titanium nitride, and the like, which is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0115] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the second data transmission link 807 includes a third transmission line 807-1, a third superconducting conductive part 807-2, a fourth superconducting conductive part 807-3, a fourth transmission line 807-4, and a reading coaxial line 807-5, wherein:

[0116] The first end of the third transmission line 807-1 is coupled to the second plate 801-1-2 of the Josephson junction 801-1, the second end of the third transmission line 807-1 is connected to the first end of the third superconducting conductive part 807-2, the second end of the third superconducting conductive part 807-2 is coupled to the resonant cavity 805 corresponding to the Josephson junction 801-1, the resonant cavity 805 corresponding to the Josephson junction 801-1 is coupled to the first end of the fourth superconducting conductive part 807-3, the second end of the fourth superconducting conductive part 807-3 is connected to the first end of the fourth transmission line 807-4, and the second end of the fourth transmission line 807-4 is connected to the read coaxial line 807-5.

[0117] The read coaxial line 807-5 is arranged on the PCB board 803, the fourth superconducting conductive part 807-4 and the fourth transmission line 807-4 pass through the packaging substrate 802, and the third superconducting conductive part 807-2 passes through the adapter plate 801-3 or passes through the carrier 801-2-1 and the filling dielectric layer 801-2-3.

[0118] If the packaging substrate 802 is made of a semiconductor material such as silicon, a dielectric region needs to be arranged between the resonant cavity 805 corresponding to the Josephson junction 801-1 and the first end of the fourth superconducting conductive part 807-3 to achieve the coupling connection between the resonant cavity 805 and the first end of the fourth superconducting conductive part 807-3.

[0120] Specifically, the coplanar resonant cavity based on the meander transmission line in the prior art can be modified to the resonant cavity 805 based on the coplanar spiral line, and the performance of the resonant cavity 805 is determined by the inner diameter, the outer diameter, and the spiral line distance p of the spiral. Compared with the coplanar resonant cavity based on the meander transmission line in the prior art, the resonant cavity 805 in the embodiments of the present application can significantly reduce the size of the resonant cavity, which is conducive to improving the integration of the superconducting quantum chip.

[0121] It should be noted that all the interconnections between the chips allow the use of solder bumps, stud bumps, etc., the adapter board can be silicon-based, glass-based, etc., and each conductive part can be made by through-silicon via technology (TSV), through-glass via technology (TGV), and molded via technology (TMV).

[0122] In the process of three-dimensional modification of the superconducting quantum bits, the three-dimensional structure based on the DTC is directly introduced into the core quantum component inside, which has a significant advantage in three-dimensional integration process compatibility and modular assembly, and is more helpful for the physical realization of the chiplet architecture. Through the screening of the known good chiplet (KGC), the high yield of the chiplets used in the system integration stage can be ensured, thereby solving the problem that the overall yield of the superconducting quantum bits and the superconducting quantum chip decreases rapidly with the increase of the integration scale.

[0123] The chiplet bonding and the chiplet-adapter board packaging body bonding steps can be completed integrally after placement by one bonding process, thereby shortening the process steps and reducing the adverse effects of repeated temperature rising and falling processes on the Josephson junction. The packaging substrate allows multiple adapter boards to be carried, and different types of quantum bit chiplets can be carried between different adapter boards, thereby greatly improving the large-scale scalability of the system under the premise of ensuring the yield, and helping to provide a more convenient test platform for the lateral comparison of the performance of different types of quantum bits.

[0124] The superconducting quantum bit and the superconducting quantum chip provided by the embodiment of the application have the following advantages:

[0125] (1) The physical size of the component is significantly reduced, and the integration density is significantly increased. The vertical structure with high aspect ratio can be used to construct a DTC structure with very small footprint and large capacitance, so that the large-size coplanar capacitor required by the quantum bit can be replaced, and the vertical interconnection structure such as the FC and the TSV can be used as the vertical coupling node after the three-dimensional modification of the quantum bit and the resonant cavity.

[0126] (2) For the new type of bit based on the DTC, the DTC can provide very high capacitance value under very small planar size, greatly improving the design efficiency and flexibility.

[0127] (3) The three-dimensional modification process directly introduces a three-dimensional interconnection structure into the core quantum component inside, which has a significant advantage in three-dimensional integration process compatibility and modular assembly, and is more helpful for the physical realization of the chiplet architecture.

[0128] (4) A complete multi-chiplet integration packaging architecture is designed, which takes into account the comprehensive needs of superconducting quantum chip cost control, decoherence suppression, and electrical signal transmission link.

[0129] (5)Through the screening of known good die, the high yield of the die used in the system integration stage can be ensured, thereby solving the problem that the overall yield of the superconducting quantum processor rapidly decreases as the integration scale increases.

[0130] (6)In the manufacture of superconducting quantum bits, the die bonding and the die-adapter plate package bonding steps can be completed integrally after placement through one bonding process, thereby shortening the process steps and reducing the adverse effects of repeated temperature rising and falling processes on Josephson junctions.

[0131] (7)The packaging substrate allows multiple adapter plates to be carried, and different types of quantum bit dies can be carried between different adapter plates, thereby greatly improving the large-scale scalability of the system under the premise of ensuring the yield, and facilitating the provision of a convenient test platform for the lateral comparison of the performance of different types of quantum bits.

[0132] Superconducting quantum bits are core components in quantum computing, and their size directly affects the integration of quantum processors.

[0133] In the structure of a superconducting quantum bit, a bypass capacitor is usually added to suppress noise caused by charge fluctuations, which helps to prolong the decoherence time of the quantum bit. In the currently widely used Transmon / Xmon bit structure design, the quantum bit generally uses a coplanar capacitor, i.e., both plates of the capacitor are on the same horizontal plane. In this case, the capacitor occupies a large planar area, which is not conducive to the large-scale expansion and high-density integration of superconducting quantum bits. Therefore, the present application proposes a new quantum bit preparation process, which significantly reduces the size of a single quantum bit by introducing a deep trench capacitor. By realizing a superconducting quantum bit structure with a parallel Josephson junction and deep trench capacitor (similar to a traditional Transmon quantum bit), a large parallel capacitor is added, which helps to reduce the sensitivity to charge noise, is easier to control, and has a longer lifespan. The deep trench capacitor can achieve a much higher capacitance density than the planar capacitor in the same area, so the noise suppression effect is more significant.

[0134] Three-dimensional integration technology is an important technology in the "post-Moore era" that can significantly improve the integration density and computing power of a single processor at the same process node. Therefore, the present application also proposes an adaptive three-dimensional integration technology to realize a scalable superconducting quantum processor architecture for the new quantum bit preparation process.

[0135] In the currently widely used Transmon / Xmon structure design, the bypass capacitor in the superconducting quantum bit is generally a coplanar capacitor, i.e., both plates of the capacitor are in the same plane. In this case, the planar area occupies too much space, which limits the integration density of the quantum bit to some extent. In terms of scale, the integration density of the current processor is mainly limited by the bypass capacitor and the resonant cavity, rather than the Josephson junction itself.

[0136] The application replaces the capacitor structure in the planar design with a deep trench capacitor structure, so that the superconducting quantum bit itself is more compatible with the demand of core granulation three-dimensional integration, reduces the size of the superconducting quantum bit, and is expected to realize an expandable, large-scale and high-integration-density superconducting quantum processor based on core granulation design.

[0137] The application provides a preparation method of a computing unit, which prepares a deep trench capacitor while preparing a Josephson junction, can simplify the preparation process flow of the whole computing unit, and avoids the interface deterioration problem caused by the thin film interface leaving the high vacuum cavity and being transported in the atmosphere.

[0138] In the currently widely used Transmon / Xmon structure design, the bypass capacitor in the superconducting quantum bit is generally a coplanar capacitor, that is, the two plates of the capacitor are in the same plane. In this case, the planar area occupies too much space, which limits the integration density of the quantum bit to some extent. From the scale, the integration density of the processor at the present stage is mainly limited by the bypass capacitor and the resonant cavity, rather than the Josephson junction itself.

[0139] The application replaces the capacitor structure in the planar design with a deep trench capacitor structure, so that the superconducting quantum bit itself is more compatible with the demand of core granulation three-dimensional integration, reduces the size of the superconducting quantum bit, and is expected to realize an expandable, large-scale and high-integration-density superconducting quantum processor based on core granulation design.

[0140] The application provides a preparation method of a computing unit, which prepares a deep trench capacitor while preparing a Josephson junction, can simplify the preparation process flow of the whole computing unit, and avoids the interface deterioration problem caused by the thin film interface leaving the high vacuum cavity and being transported in the atmosphere.

[0141] FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the preparation method of the computing unit provided by the tenth embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 10, the preparation method of the computing unit provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps.

[0142] S1001, forming a blind hole in a wafer, and forming a first electrode plate layer of a deep trench capacitor based on the blind hole;

[0143] Specifically, a blind hole is prepared in the wafer, which extends from a first surface of the wafer to a second surface of the wafer. A conductive layer is prepared based on the blind hole to obtain a first electrode plate layer of a deep trench capacitor (DTC). The wafer material is not limited, but the material layer close to the quantum bit needs to have a low enough two-level system (TLS) loss to not affect the function of the quantum bit. The conductive material of the first electrode plate layer is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0144] For example, the blind hole can be prepared on the first surface of the silicon-based wafer through photolithography and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE).

[0145] S1002, a first metallization layer of the Josephson junction is prepared, and the first metallization layer is electrically connected with the first electrode plate layer;

[0146] Specifically, a first metallization layer of the Josephson junction is prepared on the wafer, and the first metallization layer is electrically connected with the first electrode plate layer. The first metallization layer can be made of superconducting metal materials such as Al and Nb, and is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0147] S1003, the first metallization layer and the first electrode plate layer are in-situ oxidized, a first dielectric layer is formed on the first metallization layer, and a second dielectric layer is formed on the first electrode plate layer;

[0148] Specifically, the first metallization layer and the first electrode plate layer are in-situ oxidized, so that an oxide layer is formed on the first metallization layer as a first dielectric layer and an oxide layer is formed on the first electrode plate layer as a second dielectric layer.

[0149] The first metallization layer and the first electrode plate layer are synchronously oxidized in a vacuum chamber, which not only simplifies the overall process steps, but also avoids the interface deterioration problem caused by the transport of the thin film interface in the atmosphere after leaving the high vacuum chamber, provides an as ideal as possible interface state, and helps to improve the coherence performance of the Josephson junction and the high capacitance ability of the deep trench capacitor.

[0150] S1004, a second metallization layer of the Josephson junction is prepared on the first dielectric layer;

[0151] Specifically, a second metallization layer of the Josephson junction is prepared on the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer serves as a barrier layer of the Josephson junction. The second metallization layer can be made of superconducting metal materials such as Al and Nb, which are selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0152] For example, after the first metallization layer is prepared and in-situ oxidation is performed, a superconducting metal material is grown through the double-layer resist of the double-opening structure at a second angle to form the second metallization layer. The second angle is selected so that the second metallization layer can be formed on the first dielectric layer. Because the double-layer resist is of a double-opening structure, in addition to the second metallization layer, an excess metallization layer is also formed on the surface of the wafer, but it does not substantially affect the structure of the deep trench capacitor and does not affect the electrical properties of the finally obtained computing unit, so that the excess metallization layer does not need to be additionally processed, thereby simplifying the complexity of the process. The second angle is set according to actual experience, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0153] S1005, forming a second electrode plate layer of the deep trench capacitor on the second dielectric layer, so that the second electrode plate layer is electrically connected with the second metallization layer;

[0154] Specifically, the second electrode plate layer of the deep trench capacitor is formed on the second dielectric layer, and the second electrode plate layer is electrically connected with the second metallization layer. The conductive material of the second electrode plate layer is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0155] For example, the current structure is subjected to photolithography, the structure on the surface of the wafer is blocked, the surface of the second dielectric layer in the blind hole is exposed, and the second electrode plate layer is grown on the surface of the second dielectric layer in the blind hole by using a growth method that can fill deep holes.

[0156] S1006, filling the blind hole wrapped by the second electrode plate layer with a dielectric to form a filling dielectric layer of the deep trench capacitor;

[0157] Specifically, the blind hole wrapped by the second electrode plate layer is filled with a dielectric to form a filling dielectric layer of the deep trench capacitor. The filling dielectric layer is made of an insulating material, which is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0158] For example, the current structure is subjected to photolithography, the structure on the surface of the wafer is blocked, the structure except the blind hole wrapped by the second electrode plate layer is protected by the photoresist, and the dielectric layer is grown or spin-coated in the blind hole to obtain the filling dielectric layer of the deep trench capacitor.

[0159] S1007, growing a conductive material connected with the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer respectively to form a first pad and a second pad of the computing unit.

[0160] Specifically, the conductive material is grown to be connected with the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer respectively, forming the first pad and the second pad of the computing unit. The first metallization layer of the Josephson junction is connected with the first electrode plate layer of the deep trench capacitor, and the second metallization layer of the Josephson junction is connected with the second electrode plate layer of the deep trench capacitor, so that the first pad and the second pad of the computing unit also serve as the two electrode plates of the deep trench capacitor, forming a superconducting quantum bit structure in which the Josephson junction and the deep trench capacitor are connected in parallel. This structure is similar to the traditional Transmon quantum bit, and the parallel large capacitor helps to reduce the sensitivity to charge noise, is easier to operate, and has a longer service life. The deep trench capacitor can achieve a much higher capacitance density than the planar capacitor under the same area, so the effect is more significant.

[0161] In the present application, the computing unit includes a superconducting quantum bit, a wafer, a deep trench capacitor, and a filling medium layer to form a core particle. The superconducting quantum bit includes a Josephson junction and the core particle.

[0162] The preparation method of the computing unit provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps: forming a blind hole in a wafer, and forming a first electrode plate layer of a deep trench capacitor based on the blind hole; preparing a first metallization layer of a Josephson junction, and electrically connecting the first metallization layer with the first electrode plate layer; in-situ oxidizing the first metallization layer and the first electrode plate layer to form a first dielectric layer on the first metallization layer and a second dielectric layer on the first electrode plate layer; preparing a second metallization layer of the Josephson junction on the first dielectric layer; forming a second electrode plate layer of the deep trench capacitor on the second dielectric layer, and electrically connecting the second electrode plate layer with the second metallization layer; filling a medium in the blind hole wrapped by the second electrode plate layer to form a filling medium layer of the deep trench capacitor; and growing a conductive material to be connected with the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer respectively, forming a first pad and a second pad of the computing unit. Since the preparation processes of the deep trench capacitor and the Josephson junction are combined, the preparation process of the computing unit is simplified, the preparation efficiency of the computing unit is improved, and the cost is reduced.

[0163] FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a preparation method of a deep trench capacitor according to an eleventh embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 11, based on the above-mentioned embodiments, further, the first electrode plate layer of the deep trench capacitor obtained based on the blind hole includes the following steps:

[0164] S1101, depositing an insulating layer on the surface of the wafer and the surface of the blind hole;

[0165] Specifically, an insulating layer is deposited on the surface of the wafer and the surface of the blind hole, and the insulating layer can cover the sidewall and the bottom of the wafer and the blind hole.

[0166] For example, a SiO2 thin film is deposited on the surface of the wafer and the sidewall and bottom of the blind hole by using a thin film growth technology capable of filling high aspect ratio, to obtain an insulating layer.

[0167] S1102, growing a conductive layer on the insulating layer;

[0168] Specifically, a conductive layer is grown on the insulating layer, and the conductive metal material used in the conductive layer is selected according to actual needs, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0169] For example, a metal conductive material is grown on the insulating layer by using a thin film growth technology capable of filling high aspect ratio, to form a conductive layer.

[0170] S1103, patterning the conductive layer to form the first electrode plate layer.

[0171] Specifically, the conductive layer can be patterned by using photolithography and dry etching to form the first electrode plate layer. The first electrode plate layer can appropriately extend to outside the blind hole, so as to be electrically connected with the first metallization layer in the subsequent process. Wherein, the first electrode plate layer can extend to outside the blind hole.

[0172] Figure 12 is a flowchart of the preparation method of the Josephson junction provided by the twelfth embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 12, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, further, the first metallization layer of the Josephson junction prepared on the wafer is electrically connected with the first electrode plate layer, which includes:

[0173] S1201, coating a double-layer glue on the wafer; wherein the selection of the double-layer glue needs to make the opening space formed by the lower layer glue after development larger than the upper layer glue;

[0174] S1202, exposing and developing the double-layer glue to form a double-layer glue with a double-opening structure on the wafer;

[0175] Specifically, the double-layer glue is exposed and developed to form a double-layer glue with a double-opening structure on the wafer, and the lower part of the double-opening structure forms a cavity, so as to facilitate the preparation of the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer.

[0176] S1203, based on the double-layer glue with a double-opening structure, a first metallization layer of the Josephson junction is prepared on the wafer at a first angle, so as to electrically connect the first metallization layer with the first electrode plate layer.

[0177] Specifically, the superconducting metal material is grown through the double-layer glue of the double-opening structure at a first angle to form a first metallization layer. The first angle is selected so that the first metallization layer can be electrically connected with the first electrode plate layer. The first angle is set according to actual experience, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0178] The first metallization layer and the first electrode plate layer are in-situ oxidized to form a first dielectric layer on the first metallization layer and a second dielectric layer on the first electrode plate layer.

[0179] FIG. 13 is a flowchart of a preparation method of a deep trench capacitor according to a thirteenth embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 13, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, after the second dielectric layer is completed, the method further includes:

[0180] S1301, if the conductive material of the first electrode plate layer is a preset material, the surface of the current structure is subjected to photolithography to obtain a second dielectric layer surface pattern;

[0181] Specifically, the first dielectric layer serves as a barrier layer of the Josephson junction, and the second dielectric layer serves as an insulating layer between the first electrode plate layer and the second electrode plate layer of the deep trench capacitor. The first dielectric layer cannot be too thick to avoid the failure of quantum tunneling; and the second dielectric layer cannot be too thin to avoid the failure of good insulation. Due to the functional differences between the barrier layer of the Josephson junction and the insulating layer of the deep trench capacitor, the first dielectric layer may meet the requirements while the second dielectric layer may not meet the requirements according to the different materials used. In the case where the conductive material of the first electrode plate layer is a certain preset material, the second dielectric layer obtained by in-situ oxidation of the first electrode plate layer cannot meet the insulation requirements, and the thickness of the second dielectric layer needs to be increased separately so that the second dielectric layer can meet the insulation requirements. The preset material is set according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0182] S1302, based on the second dielectric layer surface pattern, an insulating material is deposited on the surface of the second dielectric layer to make the thickness of the second dielectric layer meet the insulation requirements.

[0183] Specifically, based on the second dielectric layer surface pattern, an insulating material is deposited on the surface of the second dielectric layer to increase the thickness of the second dielectric layer, so that the thickness of the second dielectric layer meets the insulation requirements. The thickness of the second dielectric layer is set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited. The insulating material is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0184] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, further, a plurality of computing units are formed on the wafer.

[0185] Specifically, a plurality of Josephson junctions and deep trench capacitors corresponding to the respective Josephson junctions can be synchronously prepared on the wafer.

[0186] The computing module provided by the embodiment of the present application is prepared by using the preparation method of the computing unit of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the computing unit prepared thereby comprises a Josephson junction and a deep trench capacitor.

[0187] The Josephson junction can be prepared by using Al-based, Nb-based, Ta-based and the like, and the Josephson junction and other necessary functional auxiliary structures are used to construct various types of superconducting quantum bits. The superconducting quantum bits can be quantum bit types such as magnetic flux, charge, phase, and Transmon. The deep trench capacitor as a bypass capacitor of the superconducting quantum bit can help to greatly extend the quantum bit decoherence time, while reducing the occupied area, thereby reducing the planar size of the superconducting quantum bit. When the size of the deep trench capacitor is very small to reach the order of hundreds of nanometers, the possible limitation of integrated density may be the Josephson junction itself, rather than the bypass capacitor which is the main limiting factor at the present stage, thereby significantly improving the integrated density of active devices compared to the present stage process. The deep trench capacitor can provide a very high capacitance value under a smaller planar size, thereby significantly improving the area utilization rate.

[0190] Specifically, the resonant cavity 1406 adopts a traditional planar resonant cavity structure. Due to the large size of the traditional planar resonant cavity, if arranged on the same plane, the spacing between adjacent quantum bits will be completely limited by the resonant cavity, thereby reducing the integration density of the device. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application proposes that part of the resonant cavity 1406 is provided in the form of a core particle, which is arranged on the resonant cavity core particle 1402 and connected to the superconducting quantum bit below by means of flip-chip bonding.

[0199] FIG. 15 is a structural schematic diagram of a processor provided by a fifteenth embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 15, the processor provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the computing module 1501, the second adapter plate 1502 and the packaging substrate 1503 described in the above-mentioned embodiments, wherein:

[0200] The computing module 1501 is flip-chip bonded on the second adapter plate 1502, and the second adapter plate 1502 is arranged on the packaging substrate 1503 through the spacer column 1504; the computing module 1501 includes at least one Josephson junction 1505, and the first surface and the second surface of the second adapter plate 1502 are respectively provided with the resonant cavity 1506.

[0201] Specifically, the computing module 1501 is provided in the form of a core particle, and the integration density is improved by arranging the resonant cavities 1506 on the two surfaces of the second adapter plate 1502 respectively. Since the second adapter plate 1502 mainly contains a mature resonant cavity 1506 structure, the process yield is high, and the yield of the second adapter plate 1502 is less sensitive to the area than the low-yield computing module 1501, so that the second adapter plate 1502 is allowed to be fully dispersed to the area corresponding to the computing module 1501 in a similar "fan-out" manner. In the case of reasonable arrangement of the resonant cavities 1506 of the second adapter plate 1502, the integration density of the processor will mainly be related to the area of the computing module 1501 and the size of the Josephson junction, thereby fully exerting the small size advantage of the new quantum bit proposed in the present patent.

[0202] The computing module 1501 includes a plurality of Josephson junctions 1505, and each Josephson junction 1505 is provided with a corresponding deep trench capacitor 1507.

[0206] Specifically, the computing module 1601 is provided in the form of a core particle, and the resonant cavity 1606 can be configured in a spiral line configuration, a coaxial configuration, etc., which can greatly reduce the planar area of the resonant cavity 1606.

[0207] The computing module 1601 includes at least one Josephson junction 1605, and each Josephson junction 1605 corresponds to a deep trench capacitor 1607. The computing module 1601 further includes a fourth carrier wafer 1608 for carrying each Josephson junction 1605 and the corresponding deep trench capacitor 1607.

The resonant cavity 1606 is arranged on the side surface of the packaging substrate 1603 close to the second adapter plate 1602, and each Josephson junction 1605 corresponds to a resonant cavity 1606.

[0208] Each Josephson junction 1605 can receive a control signal through the fourteenth data transmission link 1609 and transmit output data through the eighth data transmission link 1610. The eighth data transmission link 1610 passes through the resonant cavity 1606 corresponding to the Josephson junction 1605.

[0209] As shown in FIG. 16A, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, further, the seventh data transmission link 1609 includes a fifth bump bonding pair 1609-1, a ninth transmission line 1609-2, an eighth conductive part 1609-3, a sixth bump 1609-4, a ninth conductive part 1609-5 and a coaxial line 1609-6 connected in sequence; the fifth bump bonding pair 1609-1 is coupled to the first pad 1605-1 of the Josephson junction 1605, the eighth conductive part 1609-3 penetrates through the second adapter plate 1602, and the ninth conductive part 1609-5 penetrates through the packaging substrate 1603.

[0210] The external control signal is transmitted to the first pad 1605-1 of the Josephson junction 1605 through the coaxial line 1609-6, the ninth conductive part 1609-5, the sixth bump 1609-4, the eighth conductive part 1609-3, the ninth transmission line 1609-2 and the fifth bump bonding pair 1609-1 in turn.

The ninth conductive part 1609-5 can be a coaxial via obtained by punching, filling a dielectric layer and a superconducting metal, and chemical mechanical polishing on the packaging substrate 1603. The superconducting metal includes but is not limited to aluminum, niobium, titanium nitride, etc., which is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0211] As shown in FIG. 16A, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, further, the eighth data transmission link 1610 includes the sixth bump 1610-1, the tenth transmission line 1610-2, the tenth conductive part 1610-3, the eleventh conductive part 1610-4, the eleventh transmission line 1610-5, the coaxial line 1610-6 and the coaxial line 1610-7; the first end of the sixth bump 1610-1 is coupled to the second pad 1605-2 of the Josephson junction 1605, the second end of the sixth bump 1610-1 is connected to the first end of the tenth transmission line 1610-2, the second end of the tenth transmission line 1610-2 is connected to the first end of the tenth conductive part 1610-3, the second end of the tenth conductive part 1610-3 is coupled and connected to the first end of the resonant cavity 1606 corresponding to the Josephson junction 1605, the second end of the resonant cavity 1606 is coupled and connected to the first end of the eleventh conductive part 1610-4, the second end of the eleventh conductive part 1610-4 is connected to the first end of the eleventh transmission line 1610-5, the second end of the eleventh transmission line 1610-5 is connected to the coaxial line 1610-6, and the third end of the eleventh transmission line 1610-5 is connected to the coaxial line 1610-7; the tenth conductive part 1610-3 penetrates the second adapter plate 1602, and the eleventh conductive part 1610-4 penetrates the packaging substrate 1603.

[0212] If the packaging substrate 1603 is made of semiconductor materials such as silicon, a separate dielectric region needs to be arranged between the resonant cavity 1606 corresponding to the Josephson junction 1605 and the first end of the eleventh conductive part 1610-4 to achieve the coupling connection between the resonant cavity 1606 and the first end of the eleventh conductive part 1610-4. The coupling connection between the resonant cavity 1606 and the first end of the eleventh conductive part 1610-4 can be capacitive coupling.

[0215] The following describes a specific implementation process of the preparation method of the computing unit provided by the embodiments of the present application with a specific embodiment.

[0216] First step, preparing a blind hole. A blind hole 1702 is prepared on the surface of a wafer 1701 by photolithography and DRIE, as shown in FIG. 17A.

[0217] Second step, depositing an insulating layer. A SiO2 thin film is deposited on the surface of the wafer 1701 and the sidewall and bottom of the blind hole by using a thin film growth technology that can fill a high aspect ratio, as an insulating layer 1703, as shown in FIG. 17B.

[0218] Third step, forming conductive layer. A thin film growth technology with high aspect ratio filling capability is used to grow a metal conductive material on the insulating layer 1703, forming a conductive layer 1704, as shown in FIG. 17C.

[0219] Fourth step, forming first electrode plate layer. The conductive layer is patterned by using photolithography and dry etching, forming a first electrode plate layer 1705, as shown in FIG. 17D.

[0220] Fifth step, coating double-layer glue. Double-layer glue 1706 is coated on the slide 1701, so that the double-layer glue covers the insulating layer 1703 and the first electrode plate layer 1705, as shown in FIG. 17E. The developing removal rate of the lower layer glue 1706-1 in the double-layer glue 1706 is higher than that of the upper layer glue 1706-2, so as to form a subsequent double-opening structure.

[0221] Sixth step, forming double-layer glue of double-opening structure. The double-layer glue 1706 is subjected to electron beam direct writing and developing, forming a double-layer glue of double-opening structure 1706, as shown in FIG. 17F.

[0222] Seventh step, preparing first metallization layer. A superconducting metal material is grown on the insulating layer 1703 through the double-layer glue of double-opening structure 1706 at a first angle, forming a first metallization layer 1707 and a redundant electrode 1708, the first metallization layer 1707 being connected with the first electrode plate layer 1705, as shown in FIG. 17G. Further, in the process of preparing the first metallization layer 1707, it is possible to also grow a superconducting metal material on the first electrode plate layer 1705 in the blind hole at the same time. Since this part of the superconducting metal material is directly grown on the first electrode plate layer 1705, it has little effect on the electrical performance of the deep trench capacitor, and there is no need to separately process the superconducting metal material grown on the first electrode plate layer 1705, thereby improving the process flexibility. The superconducting metal material can be selected from Al, Nb and other superconducting metals commonly used in Josephson junctions.

[0223] Eighth step, in-situ oxidation. In the process of preparing the first metallization layer 1707, in-situ oxidation is directly performed in the vacuum environment, forming an oxide layer on the first metallization layer 1707, the redundant electrode 1708 and the first electrode plate layer 1705. The oxide layer on the first metallization layer 1707 constitutes a first dielectric layer 1709, and the oxide layer on the first electrode plate layer constitutes a second dielectric layer 1710, as shown in FIG. 17H.

[0224] In the ninth step, a second metallization layer is prepared. A superconducting metal material is grown on the first dielectric layer 1709 and the second dielectric layer 1710 on the slide 1701 through the double-layer glue 1706 at a second angle to form the second metallization layer 1711, and extra electrode 1712 and superconducting metal material on the insulating layer 1703, as shown in FIG. 17I. Further, during the preparation of the second metallization layer 1711, extra superconducting metal material can also be grown on the second dielectric layer 1710 of the blind hole. As described above, no additional treatment is required for the extra superconducting metal material, which improves the flexibility of the process. The second angle is set according to actual experience, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0225] In the tenth step, the double-layer glue is removed. The double-layer glue 1706 is removed by an organic solvent such as acetone to expose the structure on the slide 1701, as shown in FIG. 17J.

[0226] Further, after the double-layer glue is removed, if the conductive material of the first electrode plate layer 1705 is a preset material, and the thickness of the second dielectric layer formed after in-situ oxidation is insufficient to provide high dielectric properties required by the deep trench capacitor, photolithography is required to block all structures outside the blind hole to form a second dielectric layer surface pattern, and based on the second dielectric layer surface pattern, insulating material is further deposited on the second dielectric layer of the sidewall and bottom of the blind hole to make the thickness of the second dielectric layer of the sidewall and bottom of the blind hole meet the high dielectric properties required by the deep trench capacitor.

[0227] It should be noted that the conductive material of the first electrode plate layer 1705 should preferably be able to form a second dielectric layer that meets the high dielectric properties required by the deep trench capacitor after oxidation, so as to avoid the implementation of the above process step of increasing the thickness of the second dielectric layer, thereby reducing the complexity of the process.

[0228] In the eleventh step, a second electrode plate layer is formed. Photolithography is performed on the current structure to form a photoresist that blocks all structures outside the blind hole to form a second electrode plate layer surface pattern, and based on the second electrode plate layer surface pattern, a second electrode plate layer 1713 is grown in a growth mode that can fill deep holes, as shown in FIG. 17K.

[0229] In the twelfth step, dielectric filling is performed. Photolithography is performed on the current structure to form a photoresist 1715 that blocks all structures on the slide 1701 except the blind hole wrapped by the second electrode plate layer 1713 to form a filling dielectric layer surface pattern, and based on the filling dielectric layer surface pattern, a dielectric is grown in the blind hole wrapped by the second electrode plate layer 1713 to perform dielectric filling and form a filling dielectric layer 1714, as shown in FIG. 17L. The filling dielectric layer 1714 is made of insulating material.

[0230] Thirteenth step, removing the oxide layer. Before growing the conductive material, the photoresist 1715 is removed by acetone and ultrasonic, and then the oxide layer on the surface of the exposed first metallization layer 1707 and the excess electrode 1708 is removed.

[0233] The preparation method of the computing unit, the computing module and the processor provided by the embodiment of the present application have the following advantages:

[0234] (1) The physical size of the component is significantly reduced, and the integration density is significantly increased. The vertical structure with high aspect ratio can be used to construct a deep trench capacitor structure with small planar area and large capacitance value, so as to replace the coplanar capacitor required by the quantum bit, and is more conducive to the vertical coupling node of the three-dimensional interconnection structure such as the FC and the TSV as the quantum bit and the resonant cavity.

[0235] (2) The oxide layer of the Josephson junction and the oxide layer of the deep trench capacitor are prepared synchronously in the present application, and the new process of in-situ oxidation not only simplifies the overall process steps, but also avoids the interface deterioration problem caused by the transfer of the metal and metal oxide interface in the atmosphere after leaving the high vacuum cavity, provides an as ideal interface state as possible, and helps to improve the coherence performance of the Josephson junction and the high capacitance capability of the deep trench capacitor. The Josephson junction and the deep trench capacitor share the first pad and the second pad, realize the direct parallel electrical connection, and avoid other additional parasitic effects.

[0236] (3) The deep trench capacitor and other three-dimensional interconnection structures are directly introduced into the core quantum component, which has a significant advantage in three-dimensional integration process compatibility and modular assembly, and is more conducive to the physical implementation of the chip architecture.

[0237] (4) The steps of core particle bonding, core particle-adaptor plate package bonding, etc. can be completed integrally after placement through a one-time bonding process, which shortens the process complexity and reduces the adverse effects of repeated temperature rising and falling processes on Josephson junctions.

[0238] (5) The packaging substrate allows multiple adaptors to be carried, and different types of quantum bit cores can be carried between different adaptors, which significantly improves the large-scale scalability of the system under the premise of ensuring yield, and helps to provide a convenient test platform for lateral comparison of different types of quantum bit performance.
