Cryogenic hyperabrupt strontium titanate varactors for sensitive reflectometry of quantum dots
arXiv:2303.02933 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.20.054056
Abstract
Radio frequency reflectometry techniques enable high bandwidth readout of semiconductor quantum dots. Careful impedance matching of the resonant circuit is required to achieve high sensitivity, which however proves challenging at cryogenic temperatures. Gallium arsenide-based voltage-tunable capacitors, so-called varactor diodes, can be used for in-situ tuning of the circuit impedance but deteriorate and fail at temperatures below 10 K and in magnetic fields. Here, we investigate a varactor based on strontium titanate with hyperabrupt capacitance-voltage characteristic, that is, a capacitance tunability similar to the best gallium arsenide-based devices. The varactor design introduced here is compact, scalable and easy to wirebond with an accessible capacitance range from 45 pF to 3.2 pF. We tune a resonant inductor-capacitor circuit to perfect impedance matching and observe robust, temperature and field independent matching down to 11 mK and up to 2 T in-plane field. Finally, we perform gate-dispersive charge sensing on a germanium/silicon core/shell nanowire hole double quantum dot, paving the way towards gate-based single-shot spin readout. Our results bring small, magnetic field-resilient, highly tunable varactors to mK temperatures, expanding the toolbox of cryo-radio frequency applications.
