Description

Flexible transmission line for communication with cryogenic circuits Field of the invention The invention relates to a flexible transmission line for communication with cryogenic circuits. Background The known flexible transmission line can be applied for communication of signals between an external electronic system and a cryogenic electronic systems.
Cryogenic electronic system can be for example qubit devices, quantum processors, sensing and detector systems, quantum internet apparatus, medical devices, cryptographic devices, classical computing processors, and any other electronic devices. Cryogenic circuits require signals from control electronics, and the actual state of each qubit is to be signaled back to the control electronics. However there are many other applications using cryogenic electronic circuits, such as multi-pixel superconducting photon detectors used in astronomy and quantum communication applications. These devices also require cryogenic cooling to operate.
Cryogenic cooling equipment is provided for maintaining the cryogenic electronic circuits at the required operating temperature of near zero Kelvin.
These cryogenic cooling equipment is often built up from a stack of separated temperature stages, wherein each lower stage 1s cooled down to a lower temperature. Due to the fundamentals of thermodynamics, the power required to progressively cool down to lower temperatures increases exponentially.
For example a typical cryogenic cooling equipment consumes 20-30 kW for handling a thermal load of 12-18 uW at 100 mK.
The control electronics for cryogenic systems are typically placed outside the cryogenic equipment to prevent that their power dissipation will heat up the cryogenic equipment as a whole and thus the cryogenic circuits as well. Therefore a communication path is required for exchanging signals between cryogenic circuits at the bottom of the cryogenic equipment, through the top of the cryogenic equipment to the outside control electronics. Such path is typically constructed from a cascade of flexible and/or semi rigid transmission lines, usually coax cables, to abridge the distance and to intercept mechanical tension and vibrations during the cooling down procedure and operation. The known flexible transmission line can be applied for communication between the external electronic circuit, for example, an electronic control system at room temperature and a cryogenic electronic system at a temperature of almost zero Kelvin.
This temperature difference causes an unwished heat flow through the flexible transmission line from the environment to the cryogenic electronic circuits.
The heat flow may even further increase when the cryogenic electronic circuits are provided with many inputs and outputs for communicating with the external electronic system.
EP 1 253 602 relates to a superconducting signal transmission apparatus provided with a vacuum container, a superconducting electronic device provided in the vacuum container, an input side transmission line, an output side transmission line for connection to the superconducting electronic device through the vacuum container, a cooling mechanism for cooling the superconducting electronic device and further having a heat cut-off signal transmission unit inserted at least at part of the input side and output side transmission lines.
The heat cut-off signal transmission unit comprises a substrate and a flat circuit body provided with a signal transmission line and ground layer.
The substrate comprises a dielectric material having a small heat conductivity.
The conductor portions forming the signal transmission line and the ground layer are formed with thin thicknesses enabling suppression of the inflow of heat from the outside.
Summary of the invention It is therefore an object of the invention to mitigate the above indicated problems.
According to the invention this and other objects are achieved by a flexible transmission line for communication with a cryogenic electronic circuit, wherein the flexible transmission line comprises a stack of a first layer comprising a conductive material, a second layer comprising a dielectric, wherein one side of the second layer facing away from the first layer is provided with a signal line comprising the conductive material for signal transmission, a third layer comprising of the dielectric; and a fourth layer comprising the conductive material, wherein the flexible transmission line is provided with a first aperture in the first layer and a second aperture in the fourth layer respectively.
The conductive material can be for example, silver Ag, copper Cu or gold Au, the dielectric can be for example polyimide or Teflon®, Kapton® or other material with high dielectric constant and/or thermally insulating properties.
In this arrangement the apertures provided in the first and fourth layer increase a heat resistance for transporting heat through the first and forth layer of the conductive material and transmission of the HF signals through the transmission line can be configured that it is guaranteed. This arrangement has a planar geometry and allows a flexible and robust connection and possesses a low parasitic heat flow. Furthermore, these flexible transmission lines are simple to construct, and insensitive for tribo-electric noise effects, micro-phonic noise effects and external disturbing signals. The integration of such apertures allows for longer cables, resulting in less connections and thus less reflection problems. The flexible transmission line according to the invention can be also smaller/ thinner than known coax cables, thus enabling a high density of independent signal lines in a single multi-channel cable.
In a preferred embodiment the flexible transmission line has a rectangular geometry with a length and a width and the at least one of the first and the second aperture is a slit over about the width of the transmission line. The slit in the first and /or the fourth layer provides a possible nearly or full severance of the ground planes formed by the first and fourth layer. The shape of the slit is not restricted to a straight line but can also be a curved line. In an embodiment the slits in the outer sides of the first and the fourth layers are aligned.
In an advantageous embodiment the flexible transmission line is provided with a bridge comprising a fifth layer of thermally insulating material connecting opposite sides of the slit wherein the bridge is located at the outer side of at least one of the first and fourth layer. This thermally insulating material can be Teflon®, Kapton® or other material with high dielectric constant and/or thermally insulating properties.
In an embodiment the bridge is located above the signal line. In this arrangement the HF shielding can be further improved.
In an embodiment the length of the bridge the length of the bridge is sufficient to bridge the slit. In this arrangement, the HF signals can pass through the transmission line.
In an embodiment the width Wb of the bridge is at least equal to a width of the signal line Ws. In this arrangement the transmission of the HF signal through the flexible transmission line can be sufficient. The width of the signal line can be for example 0.15 mm.
In a further embodiment the bridge is provided with a sixth layer of conducting material at the outer side of the fifth layer. The conducting material can be silver, gold or copper or any other metallic or even superconducting metal. This arrangement reduces the parasitic heat flow and facilitates transmission of HF frequencies up to the GHz range through capacitive and inductive coupling. Also an overall shielding of the signal conductor is obtained. This shielding also prevents infra-red in coupling.
In a further embodiment the sixth layer of the conductive material is electrically connected to the at least one of the first layer and fourth layer. In this arrangement the overall shielding for frequencies in the HF and GHz ranges is further improved. A connection to one side of the slit can be sufficient.
In an embodiment the electrical connection between the sixth layer and the at least one of the first and fourth layer is through a via hole in the fifth layer or a strip of conducting material.
In an embodiment the thermally insulating material can be a superconductive material. The superconductive material can be Aluminium Al, Lead Pb, Tin Sn, Zinc Zn, Wolfram W, Titanium Ti, NiobiumTitanium NbTi, NiobiumGermanium Nb3Ge, Niobium Nb, NiobiumTin NbSn, NbTiN, or any other dirty superconductor, or rare-earth based copper-oxide superconductors. The superconducting material has a typical characteristic of a superior electrical conductance and a low thermal conductance.
When this superconducting material is provided at a small location on the bridge a normal behavior of the superconductor can be expected. If for example magnetic fields, or high microwave powers or temperatures close to the superconducting transition temperature, or any combination thereof are employed, the superconducting material could lose its superconducting state and become a (very high) resistive metal. By keeping the width of the superconducting bridge limited, from 100 nm to few microns these issues are overcome by the hybridization between the metallic layers and the superconductor, at the expense of increased heat flow. This embodiment can be applied in environments wherein the temperature is in the range wherein the superconductive material is in the superconducting state.
In a further embodiment the second layer is provided with a further signal line.
The invention further relates to an electronic device comprising the flexible transmission line according to claim 1. The electronic device may comprise an electronic control circuit, a cryogenic electronic circuit and a flexible transmission line for communication between the electronic control circuit and the cryogenic circuit. These and other features and effects of the present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to drawings in which preferred and illustrative 5 embodiments of the invention are shown.
