This letter presents a fully integrated interface circuitry with a position-based charge qubit structure implemented in 22-nm FDSOI CMOS. The quantum structure is controlled by a tiny capacitive DAC (CDAC) that occupies 3.5×45 µm 2 and consumes 0.27 mW running at a 2-GHz system clock. The state of the quantum structure is measured by a single-electron detector that consumes 1 mW (including its output driver) with an area of 40×25 µm 2 . The low power and miniaturized layout of these circuits pave the way for integration in a large quantum core with thousands of qubits, which is a necessity for practical quantum computers. The CDAC output noise of 12 µV-rms is estimated through mathematical analysis while the ≤ 0.225 mV-rms input referred noise of the detector is verified by measurements at 3.4 K. The functionality of the system and performance of the CDAC are verified in a loopback mode with the detector sensing the CDAC-induced electron tunneling from the floating diffusion node into the quantum structure.

This brief presents a single-electron injection device for position-based charge qubit structures implemented in 22 nm FD-SOI CMOS. Quantum dots are implemented in local well areas separated by tunnel barriers controlled by gate terminals overlapping with a thin 5 nm undoped silicon film. Interface of the quantum structure with classical electronic circuitry is provided with single-electron transistors that feature doped wells on the classic side. A small 0.7×0.4 µm 2 elementary quantum core is co-located with control circuitry inside the quantum operation cell which is operating at 3.5 K and a 2 GHz clock frequency. With this apparatus, we demonstrate a single electron injection into a quantum dot.Index Terms-Single-electron injection device (SEID), cryogenic circuits, position-based charge qubit, quantum computer, quantum point contact (QPC), quantum operation cell, quantum dot (QD), fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI).
