Abstract

A method of fabricating an electronic component with multiple quantum islands is provided, including supplying a substrate on which rests a nanowire made of semiconductor material not intentionally doped, the nanowire having at least two main control gates resting thereon so as to form respective qubits in the nanowire under the two main control gates, the two main control gates being separated by a groove, top and lateral faces of the two main control gates and a bottom of the groove being covered by a dielectric layer; depositing a conductive material in the groove and on the top of the two main control gates; and planarizing down to the dielectric layer on the top of the two main control gates, so as to obtain an element made of conductive material self-aligned between the main control gates.
