Abstract

Measurement of multiple quantum devices on a single chip increases characterization throughput and enables testing of device repeatability, process yield, and systematic variations in device design. We present a method that uses on-chip field-effect transistor switches to enable multiplexed cryogenic measurements of double quantum dot Si/SiGe devices. Multiplexing makes it feasible to characterize a number of devices that scales exponentially with the number of external wires, a key capability given the significant constraints on cryostat wiring currently in common use. We use this approach to characterize three nominally identical quantum-point contact channels, enabling comparison of their threshold voltages for accumulation and their pinch-off voltages during a single cool-down of a dilution refrigerator.
