Abstract: The method of the present disclosure is related to the assembly of two components on two opposite sides of a substrate, enabled by the embedding of one of the components in a stress-compensated SiO2 layer applied at low temperatures, i.e. lower than any temperature that could compromise the functionality of the embedded component. Example embodiments are related to heterogeneous integration schemes, i.e. the assembly of components of different types, in particular a CMOS chip and a III-V chip, which are otherwise difficult to integrate in a 3D package. The stress-compensated film embeds the component at least laterally, i.e. the layer surrounds and is in direct contact with the sides of the component and the thickness of the film is at least equal to the thickness of the component.

Abstract: A flux-pump digital-to-analog converter (DAC) includes a ring of Josephson transmission line (JTL) stages. The ring includes multiple injector Josephson junctions (JJs). Each of the multiple injector JJs can be individually activated to inject magnetic flux into the ring in a given AC clock cycle, or controllably deactivated so as not to inject flux during the given AC clock cycle. The flux-pump DAC further includes a load inductor coupled to ring JJs of the ring. The load inductor is configured to store the magnetic flux injected into the ring. Because the flux-pump DAC includes multiple injector JJs arranged around the JTL ring, it can ramp up current loaded into the load inductor faster than a single-injector flux-pump DAC, and with precise, variable controllability of ramp speed so as to provide enhanced adiabaticity.
