A method of fabricating circuitry in a wafer includes depositing a superconducting metal on a silicon on insulator wafer having a handle wafer, coating the wafer with a sacrificial layer and bonding the wafer to a thermally oxide silicon wafer with a first epoxy. The method includes flipping the wafer, thinning the flipped wafer by removing a handle wafer, etching a buried oxide layer, depositing a superconducting layer, bonding the wafer to a thermally oxidized silicon wafer having a handle wafer using an epoxy, flipping the wafer again, thinning the flipped wafer, etching a buried oxide layer from the wafer and etching the sacrificial layer from the wafer. The result is a wafer having superconductive circuitry on both sides of an ultra-thin silicon layer.

摘要:
Various techniques for forming superconductive lines are described whereby superconductive lines can be formed by stamping, etching, polishing, or by rendering selected areas of a superconductive film (layer) non-superconductive. The superconductive material can be "perfected" (or optimized) after it is formed into lines (traces). In one embodiment, trenches are etched in a substrate, the trenches are filled with superconductive material, and any excess superconductive material overfilling the trenches is removed, such as by polishing. In another embodiment, superconductive lines are formed by rendering selected areas of a superconductive layer (i.e., areas other than the desired superconductive lines) non-superconductive by "damaging" the superconductive material by laser beam heating, or by ion implantation. Superconductive lines formed according to the invention can be used to protect semiconductor devices (e.g., transistor structures) from over-current or overheating conditions such as those caused by CMOS latch-up. Current density limits and/or thermal limits of superconductors are employed to cause a superconductive trace to become non-superconductive when these limits are exceeded.
