    摘要: An example memory cell includes a superconducting loop configured to receive a write current and form a persistent current that stores a data bit in the superconducting loop. The example memory cell further includes a superconducting wire coupled to the superconducting loop and configured to selectively read-out the data bit in the superconducting loop in response to a control signal. An example method of reading data from the memory cell includes receiving, at the superconducting loop, a write current to store a data bit in a superconducting loop, and forming a persistent current that circulates in the superconducting loop as a stored data bit. The example method further includes, in accordance with a control signal, transferring, via a superconducting wire of the memory cell that is coupled to the superconducting loop, at least a portion of the persistent current to an output of the memory cell.

    摘要: A method for etching a surface including obtaining a structure comprising a plurality of nanowires on or above a substrate and a dielectric layer on or above the nanowires, wherein the dielectric layer comprises protrusions formed by the underlying nanowires; reacting a surface of the dielectric layer with a reactant, comprising a gas or a plasma, to form a reactive layer on the dielectric layer, wherein the reactive layer comprises a chemical compound including the reactant and elements of the dielectric layer and the reactive layer comprises sidewalls defined by the protrusions; and selectively etching the reactive layer, wherein the etching etches the protrusions laterally through the sidewalls so as to planarize the surface and remove or shrink the protrusions.

    摘要: Described is a semiconductor device comprising a substrate having a surface; a mesa arranged on the surface of the substrate, the mesa having a perimeter; and one or more gate electrodes. The mesa is obtainable by selective area growth, and comprises a semiconductor heterostructure for hosting a 2-dimensional electron gas or a 2-dimensional hole gas. The one or more gate electrodes are configured to deplete electrically portions of the semiconductor heterostructure to define a boundary of an active region of the semiconductor heterostructure, the boundary being spaced from the perimeter of the mesa. By using a selective-area-grown mesa and defining the boundary of the active region electrostatically, improved electronic properties may be obtained, for example by avoiding the diffuse scattering of charge carriers. Also provided is a method for fabricating the device, and a use of one or more gate electrodes to define an active region of a semiconductor component.
