METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ADDRESSING QUBITS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE DEVICE
A method of addressing at least one qubit to be addressed in a set of two or more qubits includes exposing the qubit to be addressed to an electromagnetic field; and at a same time exposing another qubit of the set of two or more qubits to an electromagnetic counter field in such a way that the electromagnetic field has no effect on the other qubit or that the electromagnetic field has a different effect on the other qubit than on the qubit to be addressed. A device for performing the method includes the set of two or more qubits and electromagnetic sources for generating the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic counter field.
ARSENIC DIFFUSION PROFILE ENGINEERING FOR TRANSISTORS
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for forming a source/drain extension. In one embodiment, a method for forming an nMOS device includes forming a gate electrode and a gate spacer over a first portion of a semiconductor fin, removing a second portion of the semiconductor fin to expose a side wall and a bottom, forming a silicon arsenide (Si:As) layer on the side wall and the bottom, and forming a source/drain region on the Si:As layer. During the deposition of the Si:As layer and the formation of the source/drain region, the arsenic dopant diffuses from the Si:As layer into a third portion of the semiconductor fin located below the gate spacer, and the third portion becomes a doped source/drain extension region. By utilizing the Si:As layer, the doping of the source/drain extension region is controlled, leading to reduced contact resistance while reducing dopants diffusing into the channel region.
