The most advanced semiconductor spin qubits are realized in gate defined quantum dots in 28Si. Qubit performance has been improved by isotopical purification and qubit integration in Si/SiGe heterostructures finally limited by spin valley splitting. ZnSe is an ideal host material for gate defined quantum dots as it has no valleys, provides a photonic link [1] and is potentially nuclear spin free after isotopical purification [2]. Prerequisite to all-electrical qubits are ohmic contacts to ZnSe operating at cryogenic temperatures that have not been realized so far. Here we present a complete analysis on ohmic contacts to n-type ZnSe. By in−situ Al metallisation of the ohmic contact without breaking ultra-high vacuum conditions, we avoid the natural ZnSe oxide and therefore achieve a record contact resistivity of (2.3±0.8)· 10−5 Ωcm2 at room temperature and (4±2)· 10−5 Ωcm2 at 4 K. We demonstrate local ohmic contacts combining the in−situ technique with selective regrowth yielding low resistivity contacts with (1.7±0.2)· 10−4 Ωcm2 also operating at 4 K ((1.4±0.4)· 10−3 Ωcm2). This allows for a new type of quantum devices such as gate defined quantum dots in ZnSe. [1] K. Sanaka ea., Nano Lett. (2012) [2] A. Pawlis ea., Appl. Electron. Mater. (2019)
