It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
As background art, quantum computing is one of the important leading technologies, and is an important path that continues to develop following moore's law, which is approaching the physical limit. Currently, the feature size of semiconductor transistors is gradually shrinking to the physical limit, and new calculation modes must be explored to meet the demand for higher performance. Quantum computing is a novel interdisciplinary of quantum mechanics and computer science, with the ability to surpass classical computers in the resolution of specific problems. Quantum computation is characterized by its computational power raised to a power of 2 with increasing number of quantum bits that can be supportednAnd (4) increasing. Quantum computing is expected to be commercially available in artificial intelligence applications such as new drugs, password cracking, searching and the like. At present, the quantum computer has various routes, including superconduction, an ion trap, semiconductor quantum dots, quantum optics and the like, wherein the ion trap quantum computer uses trapped ions as qubits, and has the advantages of high fidelity and long coherence time. Thanks to mature semiconductor processes, ion trap miniaturization (chipization) can meet the demand for manipulating more ion qubits. The ion trap chip has the function of trapping ions, is made of conductive materials and insulating materials, provides an electromagnetic field capable of controlling ions, and directly influences the distribution of the electromagnetic field of the chip by the structure of the chip, wherein the position of the trap in the center of the chip is particularly critical. The location of the well in the center of the chip involves etching and alignment processes of multiple layers of conductive and insulating materials.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an ion trap chip, and fig. 8 is a flowchart of the method for manufacturing an ion trap chip according to the embodiment of the present invention, and with reference to fig. 8, the method includes:
and S110, providing a substrate.
In particular, the substrate has a mechanical support and a heat sink for the chip, and the material of the substrate may include silicon.
S120, forming a laminated structure comprising a plurality of conducting layers and a plurality of dielectric layers on one side of the substrate; the conducting layers and the dielectric layers are alternately arranged.
Specifically, fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a structure corresponding to step S120 in the manufacturing method of the ion trap chip provided in fig. 8, and referring to fig. 9, a stacked structure including a plurality of conductive layers 22 and a plurality of dielectric layers 21 is formed on one side of the substrate 10, and the conductive layers 22 and the dielectric layers 21 are alternately arranged. In the stacked structure, the number of layers of the dielectric layer 21 and the conductive layer 22 is the same, the dielectric layer 21 is closest to the substrate 10, and the conductive layer 22 is farthest from the substrate 10, that is, the dielectric layer 21 and the conductive layer 22 are arranged in pairs. The material of the conductive layer 22 may include gold, silver, aluminum, copper, titanium, or tantalum, or may be a combination of any two metals. The materials of the different conductive layers 22 may be the same or different. The material of the dielectric layer 21 may include an insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
S130, etching the laminated structure to form at least two first openings.
Specifically, fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the structure corresponding to step S130 in the preparation method of the ion trap chip provided in fig. 8, and referring to fig. 10, the step of etching the stacked structure to form at least two first openings 30 may be performed by etching the stacked structure in a dry etching or wet etching manner based on a mask. The mask comprises a photoresist mask or a metal and photoresist combined mask. For example, when using photoresist as a mask for etching a laminated structure, it is necessary to prepare a photoresist mask on the side of the laminated structure away from the substrate 10. And coating a photoresist layer on the surface of one side of the laminated structure far away from the substrate 10, exposing and developing the photoresist layer, and patterning the photoresist layer to form a pattern to be etched. In the process of transferring the photoresist pattern obtained by photoetching to the laminated structure, the conductive layer 22 and the dielectric layer 21 are alternately etched by dry etching or wet etching by utilizing the covering and protecting functions of the photoresist mask to form at least two first openings 30. Two pairs of metal layers and oxide layers may be etched, or three or four pairs of layers may be etched. The embodiment of the invention etches to the substrate 10, so that the formed first opening 30 exposes the substrate 10, and then the surface photoresist or the hard mask is removed. Illustratively, the shape of the etch hole (first opening 30) may be circular, square, or other irregular shape; the first opening 30 has a depth of 1 micron to 20 microns; the pitch of adjacent first openings 30 ranges from 10 microns to 500 microns.
Wet etching is a chemical reaction process that utilizes chemical reagents to chemically react with the material to be etched to generate soluble or volatile substances. In the wet etching process, the etchant and the laminated structure exposed by the mask are subjected to chemical reaction, and then reaction products are removed. Different materials correspond to different etchants, for example, the material of the dielectric layer 21 is silicon oxide, and 49% of the etchant can be added into waterThe solution of HF acts as an etchant to etch the dielectric layer 21. If the material of the conductive layer 22 is Al, H can be added in a ratio of 16:2:1:13PO4、H2O、HNO3And CH3And etching the mixed solution consisting of COOH. Dry etching is a technique of etching using plasma. Plasma is referred to as a fourth form of matter and may be considered as a partially or fully discharged gas. The dry etching can realize anisotropic etching, ensure that the first opening 30 is etched along the direction vertical to the substrate 10, and has the advantage of better size control. Therefore, dry etching is preferable to wet etching.

After blade coating or spin coating is finished, curing the second photoresist layer; the second photoresist layer may be either a positive or negative photoresist. Preferably, the second photoresist layer is formed by means of doctor blading on the side of the laminated structure remote from the substrate 10 and in the first opening 30. Due to the deep depth of the first opening 30, it is possible to reach the depth of the entire laminated structure, and the first opening 30 can be efficiently and sufficiently filled by the doctor blade. The material of the sacrificial layer 40 may also include a material that is easily removed, such as amorphous silicon.

Specifically, fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the structure corresponding to step S270 in the method for manufacturing an ion trap chip provided in fig. 15, and referring to fig. 16, the dielectric layer 21 exposed by the third opening 60 in the laminated structure may be etched by using a mixed gas containing hydrofluoric acid or a mixed solution containing hydrofluoric acid. After removing the dielectric layer 21 exposed by the third opening 60 in the stacked structure, the sacrificial layer 40 in the first opening 30 may be exposed from the sidewall of the third opening 60. Optionally, the distance d between the second opening 51 and the first opening 30 is smaller than the thickness of the dielectric layer 21 (refer to fig. 12), for example, the thickness of the dielectric layer is 6 micrometers; the spacing d between the second opening 51 and the first opening 30 is 3 micrometers. So that the width of the unetched remaining portion between the formed third opening 60 and the first opening 30 is short. In the process of etching the dielectric layer 21 layer by layer, the suspended conductive layer 22 is prevented from being bent due to too long, which affects the etching of the next dielectric layer 21, and further prevents the residual dielectric layer 21 from being arranged at the contact part of the dielectric layer 21 and the sacrificial layer 40, which affects the removal of the sacrificial layer 40 by organic solvent in the next process.
And S280, removing the sacrificial layer through an organic solvent, so that the suspended conductive layer exposed by the third opening is stripped along with the removal of the sacrificial layer, and forming an ion well region.
Specifically, referring to fig. 14 and 16, the sacrificial layer 40 in the first opening 30 and the first photoresist layer 50 on the side of the stacked structure away from the substrate 10 are stripped using an organic solvent. After the dielectric layer 21 exposed by the third opening 60 in the stacked structure is removed, the sacrificial layer 40 in the first opening 30 is exposed from the sidewall of the third opening 60, so that an organic solvent can contact with the exposed sacrificial layer 40 from the sidewall of the third opening 60 for reaction, thereby increasing the removal speed of removing the sacrificial layer 40. In addition, in the process of removing the sacrificial layer 40 by using the organic solvent, the suspended conductive layer 22 exposed by the third opening 60 can be stripped off along with the stripping of the sacrificial layer 40, so as to form a required overlay pattern. In step S270, in order to prevent the metal layer from being damaged by the etching process, the scheme of removing the conductive layer 22 exposed by the third opening 60 in the stacked structure and the scheme of removing the dielectric layer 21 exposed by the third opening 60 in the stacked structure are preferably adopted to remove the dielectric layer 21 exposed by the third opening 60 in the stacked structure.
In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the length of the second opening included in the first photoresist layer is smaller than the distance between two adjacent first openings; the second opening exposes the part of the laminated structure between two adjacent first openings, the laminated structure exposed by the second opening is etched to form a third opening based on the patterned first photoresist layer, so that an unetched reserved part is formed between the formed third opening and the first opening of the laminated structure, then the dielectric layer of the reserved part is removed by using HF atmosphere etching or wet etching, the sacrificial layer is exposed, so that an organic solvent can contact with the exposed sacrificial layer from the side wall of the third opening to react, and the removal speed of the sacrificial layer is accelerated. In addition, in the process of removing the sacrificial layer by the organic solvent, the suspended conductive layer exposed by the third opening can be stripped off along with the stripping of the sacrificial layer, and a required overlay pattern is formed. After the sacrificial layer is removed, the first opening and the third opening are combined to form a large hole, and a part of the first opening, which is deeper than the third opening, forms a small hole; the side walls of the first openings are shared by the large holes and the small holes, so that the positions of the holes with different sizes in the laminated structure are accurate, namely, the position deviation of the multilayer metal in the holes formed by combining the openings with different sizes in the horizontal direction does not exist, the distribution of an electromagnetic field of the chip and the potential well trapping ions are ensured, and the working performance of the ion trap chip is improved.

I.e. the third opening has an overlap region with the first opening (see region 70 in fig. 18). And similarly, taking a conductive layer in the laminated structure as the film layer exposed after the etching of the third opening is stopped.
