Gate controlled switching in non-centrosymmetric superconducting devices - Comparison of fabrication methods — •Jennifer Koch1, Leon Ruf1, Elke Scheer1, and Angelo Di Bernardo1, 2 — 1Universität Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany — 2Università degli Studi di Salerno, Fisciano (SA), Italy
Gate-controlled supercurrent (GCS) devices have become of great interest as the superconducting equivalent to complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) logic. The idea behind this technology stems from the recent discovery that superconducting devices can be controlled electrically with the application of a gate voltage [1-3]. We investigate gate-controlled switching devices made of the noncentrosymmetric superconductor Nb0.18Re0.82 and compare how the fabrication process influences the physical properties. We examine the differences between devices fabricated with the top-down (dry-etching) and bottom-up (lift-off) approaches, as well as how the usage of different gases in the dry-etching step affects the GCS.
