A Thin-Film Cryotron Suitable For Use as an Ultra-Low-Temperature Switch

Low-temperature superconducting circuits have become important for many scientific applications. However, there are presently no high current-capacity switches (~1 mA) with low power dissipation for sub-Kelvin operation. One candidate for a sub-Kelvin switch is the cryotron, a device in which the su...

520 |a Low-temperature superconducting circuits have become important for many scientific applications. However, there are presently no high current-capacity switches (~1 mA) with low power dissipation for sub-Kelvin operation. One candidate for a sub-Kelvin switch is the cryotron, a device in which the superconductivity of a wire is suppressed with a magnetic field. Here, we demonstrate a cryotron switch suitable for sub-Kelvin temperatures. In the closed state, the maximum device current is about 900 μA. The device is switched to its open state with 2 mA of control current and has a leakage of approximately 500 nA. The transition between the closed and open states of the device is faster than 200 ns, where the measurement is limited by the speed of our measurement apparatus. We also discuss low-temperature applications for our cryotron such as a single-pole, double-throw switch
