  • Publication number: 20210143282
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for fabricating an FET structure. The method includes forming on a substrate a first semiconductor structure and an insulator structure covering the first semiconductor structure with a first insulator layer, forming on the first insulator layer a sacrificial layer extending to a reference plane, forming a second insulator layer on the reference plane, forming a first cavity through the second insulator layer, the sacrificial layer and the first insulator layer, thus exposing a surface of the first semiconductor structure, filling the first cavity with a second semiconductor structure extending from the surface at least up to the first reference plane, forming a third semiconductor structure on the second semiconductor structure, selectively removing the sacrificial layer, thus forming a second cavity, and filling the second cavity with a gate structure.

  • Publication number: 20210118947
    Abstract: A magnetic field controlled transistor circuit includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a channel including a magneto-resistive material. The channel is arranged between the first and second electrodes and electrically coupled to the first and second electrodes. The transistor circuit further includes a third electrode, a fourth electrode, and a control layer including an electrically conductive material. The control layer is arranged between the third and fourth electrodes and electrically coupled to the third and fourth electrodes. In addition, an insulating layer including an insulating material is provided. The insulating layer is arranged between the channel and the control layer and configured to electrically insulate the channel from the control layer. A related method for operating a transistor circuit and a corresponding design structure are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20200389134
    Abstract: An amplifier, e.g., a low-noise amplifier, includes a field-effect transistor having a one-dimensional channel. This channel includes a semiconductor material for conducting electrons along a main direction of the channel. This direction is perpendicular to a cross-section of the channel. Dimensions of this cross-section are, together with the semiconductor material, such that the channel exhibits quantized conduction of electrons along its main direction. The amplifier further includes an electrical circuit that is configured to operate the transistor at a value of gate-to-source voltage bias corresponding to a peak value of a peak of a transconductance of the channel with respect to gate-to-source voltage bias values.

  • Patent number: 10810506
    Abstract: A quantum processing apparatus comprises control electronics, a switching unit, a bias line, and N electronic circuits. Both the switching unit and the bias line are connected to the control electronics. The N circuits comprise N respective, non-volatilely tunable resistors and N respective frequency-tunable, solid-state qubits. The control electronics are configured to individually tune the resistors via the switching unit, in a configuration mode of the apparatus; and apply a voltage bias to the electronic circuits via the bias line, in an operation mode of the apparatus. The electronic circuits are configured to passively apply respective bias signals to the qubits, wherein such bias signals are impacted by the resistors, in response to the voltage bias applied via the bias line, to operate the qubits at respective frequencies determined according to the respective bias signals.
