Patents by Inventor Sebastian J. Pauka

Sebastian J. Pauka has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11690300
    Abstract: Methods related to the treatment of a quantum computing device to increase channel mobility are described. An example method includes forming a superconducting metal layer on a surface of a wafer. The method further includes selectively removing a portion of the superconducting metal layer to allow a subsequent formation of a gate dielectric associated with the device, where the selectively removing causes a decrease in channel mobility associated with the quantum computing device. The method further includes prior to forming the gate dielectric, subjecting the wafer to a plasma treatment, where a set of parameters associated with the plasma treatment is selected to increase the channel mobility.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 10, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2023
