The negatively charged Nitrogen Vacancy colour centre (NV) is a spin active defect with a long spin lifetime at room temperature. It is a three level system which ground state spin can be efficiently readout and controlled at the single atom level. In addition, long coherence time associated with single spin in spin-free diamond lattice make this centre an excellent candidate as qubit for quantum information purpose. To the whole power of the NV the control we aim to have a microwave structures precisely positioned on the colour centre. Furthermore, in order to improve the optical detection of single spins we formerly developed a technique to fabricate solid immersion lenses (SILs), using Focus Ion Beam (FIB) system, that allows to avoid any refraction at the diamond-air interface. Using combination of lithography and FIB technologies we will create a microwave circuit surrounding the SIL, previously etched and coupled to the colour centre in the diamond on demand. This allows us to increase the collection of the light from the NV centre and in the same time to drive the splitting of its ground state, in a precise, scalable integrated way.
