We present a systematic study of various ways (top gates, local doping, substrate bias) to fabricate and tune multi-dot structures in silicon nanowire multigate MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors). The carrier concentration profile of the silicon nanowire is a key parameter to control the formation of tunnel barriers and single-electron islands. It is determined both by the doping profile of the nanowire and by the voltages applied to the top gates and to the substrate. Local doping is achieved with the realisation of up to two arsenic implantation steps in combination with gates and nitride spacers acting as a mask. We compare nominally identical devices with different implantations and different voltages applied to the substrate, leading to the realisation of both intrinsic and doped coupled dot structures. We demonstrate devices in which all the tunnel resistances towards the electrodes and between the dots can be independently tuned with the control top gates wrapping the silicon nanowire.
We electrically measure intrinsic silicon quantum dots with electrostatically defined tunnel barriers. The presence of both p-type and n-type ohmic contacts enables the accumulation of either electrons or holes. Thus we are able to study both transpo
We present a novel reconfigurable metal-oxide-semiconductor multi-gate transistor that can host a quadruple quantum dot in silicon. The device consist of an industrial quadruple-gate silicon nanowire field-effect transistor. Exploiting the corner eff
Spins of donor electrons and nuclei in silicon are promising quantum bit (qubit) candidates which combine long coherence times with the fabrication finesse of the silicon nanotechnology industry. We outline a potentially scalable spin qubit architect
We study theoretically electron spins in nanowire quantum dots placed inside a transmission line resonator. Because of the spin-orbit interaction, the spins couple to the electric component of the resonator electromagnetic field and enable coherent m
The presence of valley states is a significant obstacle to realizing quantum information technologies in Silicon quantum dots, as leakage into alternate valley states can introduce errors into the computation. We use a perturbative analytical approac
