Abstract
Semiconductor-superconductor hybrid devices with a horizontally-confined channel and methods of forming the same are described. An example semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device includes a semiconductor heterostructure formed over a substrate. The semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device may further include a superconducting layer formed over the semiconductor heterostructure. The semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device may further include a first gate, having a first top surface, formed adjacent to a first side of the semiconductor heterostructure. The semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device may further include a second gate, having a second top surface, formed adjacent to a second side, opposite to the first side, of the semiconductor heterostructure, where each of the first top surface of the first gate and the second top surface of the second gate is offset vertically from a selected surface of the semiconductor heterostructure by a predetermined offset amount.
