More Information
Summary:A semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device comprises a semiconductor component which, when in use, comprises a channel in the form of a nanowire; a superconductor component capable of inducing superconductivity in the semiconductor component by proximity effect; and an array of finger gates. The finger gates are individually operable to apply respective electrostatic fields to respective segments of the channel. The array of finger gates allows for localized control over electrical potentials in the corresponding segments of the nanowire. Also provided are methods of fabricating and operating the semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device.
