US Patent 12009414 Superconductor gate semiconductor field-effect transistor

A transistor structure, includes a buffer layer and a quantum well channel layer on top of the buffer layer. There is a barrier layer on top of the channel layer. There is a drain contact on a channel stack. A source contact is on a channel stack. A gate structure is located between the source contact and drain contact, comprising: an active gate portion having a bottom surface in contact with a bottom surface of the source and the drain contacts. A superconducting portion of the gate structure is in contact with, and adjacent to, an upper part of the active gate portion.
