Title:
Versatility of selective area growth and stencil lithography for topological insulator-superconductor hybrid devices

Abstract:
As a potential platform to realize elusive topological superconductivity, hybrid devices of topological insulators (TIs) and conventional s-wave superconductors (S) form an attractive field of research. However, the fabrication of pristine hybrid devices with transparent S-TI interfaces is often hampered by degradation at ambient conditions. As a possible solution to this challenge, a novel technique combining selective area growth and stencil lithography to fabricate these devices under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions has recently been reported. In my talk, I will showcase the versatility of this UHV fabrication technique for the implementation of several S-TI hybrid devices, ranging from Josephson junctions to superconducting hybrid qubits, and discuss their characterization.
