  • Patent number: 12087750
    Abstract: A stacked-substrate FPGA device is described in which a second substrate is stacked over a first substrate. Logic transistors (e.g., semiconductor devices and at least some conductive interconnections between them) are generally fabricated on (or over) a first substrate and memory transistors (e.g., SRAM cells and SRAM arrays) are generally fabricated on a second substrate over the first substrate. This has the effect of physically disposing elements of a CLB and a programmable switch on two different substrates. That is a first portion of a CLB and a programmable switch corresponding to logic transistors are on a first substrate and a second portion of these components of an FPGA corresponding to SRAM transistors is on a second substrate.

    Abstract: Quantum dot devices with independent gate control are disclosed. An example quantum dot device includes N parallel rows of gate lines provided over a quantum well stack. Each of the N parallel rows of gate lines defines a respective row of a quantum dot formation region in the quantum well stack and includes M parallel gate lines stacked above one another. The quantum dot device may further include, for each of the N×M gate lines, a gate that extends toward the quantum well stack, where, for an individual row of the N parallel rows, gates that extend toward the quantum well stack from the M parallel stacked gate lines are arranged above a respective row of a quantum dot formation region in the quantum well stack. In this manner, each of the N×M gates responsible for formation of different quantum dots may be controlled independently.

  • Patent number: 11922274
    Abstract: Quantum dot devices with three of more accumulation gates provided over a single row of a quantum dot formation region are disclosed. Each accumulation gate is electrically coupled to a respective doped region. In this manner, multiple single electron transistors (SETs) are provided along the row. Side and/or center screening gates may be used to apply microwave pulses for qubit control and to control electrostatics so that source and drain regions of the multiple SETs with quantum dots formed along the single row of a quantum dot formation region are sufficiently isolated from one another. Such quantum dot devices provide strong spatial localization of the quantum dots, good control over quantum dot interactions and manipulation, good scalability in the number of quantum dots included in the device, and/or design flexibility in making electrical connections to the quantum dot devices to integrate the quantum dot devices in larger computing devices.
