  • SEMICONDUCTOR-SUPERCONDUCTOR HYBRID DEVICE AND FABRICATION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230128554
    Abstract: A semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device comprises a semiconductor component and a superconductor component arranged over the semiconductor component. The superconductor component comprises a continuous portion of a superconductor material and a discontinuous portion of a non-ferromagnetic metal. The discontinuous portion is configured to increase the critical field of the superconductor component. It has been found that providing a superconductor component with a discontinuous portion of non-ferromagnetic metal may increase the critical field of the superconductor component, allowing the device to be operated in a stronger magnetic field. Further aspects provide a method of fabricating the device, and the use of a non-ferromagnetic metal to increase the critical field of a superconductor component of a semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device.
