  • Patent number: 11329145
    Abstract: A quantum device with spin qubits, comprising: a semiconductor portion arranged on a buried dielectric layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate also including a semiconductor support layer, wherein first distinct parts each form a confinement region of one of the qubits and are spaced apart from one another by a second part forming a coupling region between the confinement regions of the qubits; front gates each at least partially covering one of the first parts of the semiconductor portion; and wherein the support layer comprises a doped region a part of which is arranged in line with the second part of the semiconductor portion and is self-aligned with respect to the front gates, and forms a back gate controlling the coupling between the confinement regions of the qubits.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8954363
    Abstract: A digital-to-analogue converter, with application to electronic circuits with neuromorphic architecture, comprises: transistors of identical nominal geometrical characteristics, but of dispersed current-voltage characteristics, wherein when a constant gate-source voltage is applied to the different transistors, a current varying as a function of the dispersion circulates in the transistor; a digital table receiving a digital word and having a selection output selecting, as a function of the word to be converted, a transistor or transistors supplying a current of desired value representing this word in analogue form. The look-up table is loaded as a function of real measured current-voltage characteristics of different transistors of the set, to establish a look-up between words and current values.
