Fault-tolerant quantum bits (qubits) in surface code configurations, one of the most accepted implementations in quantum computing, operate in deep sub-Kelvin regime and require scalable classical control circuits. In this paper we advocate the need for a new generation of deep-submicron CMOS circuits operating at deep-cryogenic temperatures to achieve the performance required in a fault-tolerant qubit system. We outline the challenges and limitations of operating CMOS in near-zero Kelvin regimes and we propose solutions. The paper concludes with several examples showing the suitability of integrating fault-tolerant.qubits with CMOS.","PeriodicalId":186544,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123762944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The non-uniform electric field of dielectric in TFET also leads to the different mechanisms between soft breakdown and hard breakdown failure. Moreover, dielectric-field-associated parameters are discussed in detail, showing an intrinsic trade-off between dielectrics reliability and device performance optimization caused by the positive correlation between dielectric field and source junction field. A new robust design consideration is further proposed for reliability and performance co-optimization, which is experimentally realized by a new TFET design with both dramatically improved performance and reliability, indicating its great potentials for ultralow-power applications.","PeriodicalId":186544,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125265112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
