A mixed semiconductor-superconductor platform is fabricated in phases. In a masking phase, a dielectric mask is formed on a substrate, such that the dielectric mask leaves one or more regions of the substrate exposed. In a selective area growth phase, a semiconductor material is selectively grown on the substrate in the one or more exposed regions. In a superconductor growth phase, a layer of superconducting material is formed, at least part of which is in direct contact with the selectively grown semiconductor material. The mixed semiconductor-superconductor platform comprises the selectively grown semiconductor material and the superconducting material in direct contact with the selectively grown semiconductor material.
