We investigate InSb nanowires placed on bottom gates with mechanically exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as a dielectric. The sample consists of five 50 nm wide finger gates with a spacing of 30 nm. The h-BN is placed on top of the finger gates. The nanowires are then placed mechanically onto h-BN. We present transport measurements on gate-defined quantum dots at temperatures down to 300 mK. Due to the dielectric, the time stability of our device improved to around 5 µeV/h. The charge stability diagram shows Coulomb diamonds with a charging energy of 2.3 meV and an orbital energy of 0.3 meV. In a perpendicular magnetic field, the zero bias state splits at around 380 mT with a doubling of the gate-periodicity below and above the transition field. This splitting resembles the one reported on nanowires partially covered by superconductors. But since in our sample there is no superconductor involved, the doubling is of unknown origin. However, the change in periodicity implies a change of the pairing mechanism, possibly triggered by electron-electron interaction.
