Gate-defined quantum dots in monolayer and bilayer WSe<sub>2</sub>: Part I, Fabrication

ORAL

Abstract

Gate-defined quantum dots in monolayer and bilayer WSe2 are a platform for novel quantum transport and quantum optoelectronic investigations of WSe2, as well as for potential applications in coherent valleytronics. In this presentation, we discuss design considerations and implementations for the fabrication of ~100 nm diameter gate-defined, p-type quantum dots in monolayer and bilayer WSe2. The devices were controlled using a combination of bottom confining gates and a top accumulation gate, with hBN used for gate insulation and encapsulation of the WSe2. Top hBN and WSe2 were transferred onto Pt for reliable p-type bottom contact.
