Abstract
A radio-frequency (rf) matching circuit with an in situ tunable varactor diode used for rf reflectometry measurements in semiconductor nanostructures is investigated and used to optimize the sample-specific chip design. The samples are integrated in a 2–4 GHz stub-matching circuit consisting of a waveguide stub shunted to the terminated coplanar waveguide. Several quantum point contacts fabricated on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure with different chip designs are compared. We show that the change of the reflection coefficient for a fixed change in the quantum point contact conductance can be enhanced by a factor of 3 compared to conventional designs by a suitable electrode geometry.
