We develop specific process for various field-effect devices including a new generation of ultra-low noise cryoHEMTs for low frequency high impedance deep cryogenic readout electronics, nano-Schottky diodes for sub-THz and THz space electronics, as well as quantum coherent mesoscopic circuits.
Low-temperature readout electronics is essential to suppress various unwanted effects due to the long cable between the measured signal at low temperature and the room-temperature readout electronics: the triboelectric effect, microphonic noise, capacitive coupling noise and data-acquisition rate slow-down. Based on a long-term investigation of material growth and device process, the cryoHEMTs (Cryogenic High Electrons Mobility Transistors) made at the C2N (formerly LPN) are now in the process to fill the gap of the FET (Filed-Effet Transistor) for high impedance, low-power and low-frequency deep cryogenic readout electronics. Different input capacitance cryoHEMTs have been fabricated and characterized, and ultra-low noise voltage and, in particular, unprecedented low noise current have been obtained. Two examples:
Figure 1: Comparison of noise performance between cryoHEMTs with a gate-source capacitance of of 100 pF at 4.2 K made at C2N and the benchmark transistors - Silicon JFETs at 300 K from InterFET. N.B. JFET cannot work at deep cryogenic temperature due to the charge freeze-out.
Figure 2: Comparison of the commercial low-noise amplifier NF LI-75A and the cryoHEMTs based low temperature amplifier, where T is the operating environment temperature; Z, the input impedance, (1 PΩ = 1×1015 Ω); Av, the voltage gain; en, the input noise voltage; in, the input noise current. The used cryoHEMTs is with a gate-source capacitance of 3.5 pF.
