Appearing in Materials for Quantum Computation: High mobility SiMOSFETs fabricated in a full 300mm CMOS process

gates

The quality of the gate stack affects the local disorder potential and plays a key role for hosting spin qubits. Here, we report a record electron mobility of 17'500 cm2/Vs with sub-10nm oxide with a PolySi gate, indicating a relatively low disorder FET. We find very good agreement with the Kruithof-Klapwijk-Bakkers model comprising interface roughness and remote Coulomb scattering terms. We find that PolySi gates result in 3 times higher mobilities compared to TiN gates, likely due additional Coulomb scattering from oxygen scavenging, thus giving insight into further material optimization for quantum computing.
