Nanofabrication of High-Transition-Temperature Superconductive Electronics with Focused Helium Ion Irradiation
We utilize helium FIB for the direct patterning of superconducting materials for nanoelectronics. The ion beam induces nanoscale disorder into the crystalline structure which converts the properties of the material from superconductor to insulator. describe process details and highlight applications in quantum sensing, and ultra low-power digital electronics.
About Shane Cybart
Professor Shane Cybart obtained a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from UC San Diego in 2005 studying nanofabrication and device physics of high-transition temperature Josephson devices. He continued his work in superconductive electronics as a post-doctoral researcher at UC Berkeley from 2006-2009. From 2009-2016, he worked as a scientist at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego developing oxide electronic devices for a diverse range of applications. In June 2016 he joined the Bourns College of Engineering at the University of California Riverside. He is currently a Professor of Electrical Engineering and cooperating faculty in the Department of Physics and Materials Science Program. He serves as the Director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Science (CalIT2) at UC Riverside and as Director of the UCR Quantum Engineering Center.
