Recently, spin qubits housed in electrostatic quantum dots in epitaxial Si/SiGe heterostructures have evolved by the demonstration of multi-qubit algorithms. One key requirement for realizing arrays of qubits with shared gate control is highly homogenous lattice strain in the Si quantum well (QW) hosting the qubits. We leverage Scanning Xray Diffraction Microscopy (SXDM), performed at the beamline ID01/ESRF, to map the strain tensor around several fully CMOS compatible electron shuttling devices for qubit interconnection (QuBus). We observe local modulations of the lattice strain by several 10−4, which are translated into spatially resolved profiles for the energy of the conduction band valley state, showing local fluctuations > 1meV. Thus, our results demonstrate that material inhomogeneities must be considered in the design for scaled quantum processors.
