  • Publication number: 20220267889
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a silicon nanoneedle array with ultra-high aspect ratio includes the following steps: spin-coating two photoresist layers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) A2 on a silicon substrate; subjecting the silicon substrate coated with the two photoresist layers of MMA and PMMA A2 to electron beam lithography to form a photoresist pattern on the silicon substrate; subjecting the silicon substrate on which the photoresist pattern is formed to electron beam evaporation (EBE) to deposit an Al film layer on the silicon substrate; subjecting the silicon substrate on which the Al film layer is deposited to stripping to obtain an Al film array deposited on the silicon substrate, which provides a mask for the subsequent inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching process; and subjecting the silicon substrate covered with the Al mask to ICP silicon etching to obtain a silicon nanoneedle array structure.

  • Patent number: 11329211
    Abstract: An active three-terminal superconducting device having an intersection region at which a hot spot may be controllably formed is described. The intersection region may exhibit current crowding in response to imbalances in current densities applied to channels connected to intersection region. The current crowding may form a hot spot, in which the superconducting device may exhibit a measurable resistance. In some cases, a three-terminal superconducting device may be configured to sense an amount of superconducting current flowing in a channel or loop without having to perturb the superconducting state or amount of current flowing in the channel. A three-terminal superconducting device may be used to read out a number of fluxons stored in a superconducting memory element.
