Abstract: A method of manufacturing a travelling wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) includes forming a superconducting junction on a substrate. Trenches are etched away through a metal surface and into a layer of dielectric material. The trenches define a plurality of fingers positioned in an interdigitated arrangement of capacitors defined by a metal and a dielectric material that remains from the etched away metal surface and the layer of dielectric material.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a bipolar transistor with low resistance base contact and method of manufacturing the same. The bipolar transistor includes an emitter, a collector, and an intrinsic base between the emitter and the collector. The intrinsic base extends laterally to an extrinsic base.

Abstract: A bipolar vertical transistor is formed in a silicon semiconductor substrate which has an upper surface with STI regions formed therein composed of a dielectric material formed in the substrate having inner ends and top surfaces. A doped collector region is formed in the substrate between a pair of the STI regions.

A doped emitter region is formed above the intrinsic base region spaced away from the edges. A shallow isolation extension region composed of a dielectric material is next to the edges of the intrinsic base region formed in the margin between the STI regions and the intrinsic base region.
