Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology offers a promising route to scalable quantum computing based on spin qubits, but large-scale architectures require compact and sensitive sensors that preserve qubit connectivity and remain compatible with industrial fabrication. Here we demonstrate a dispersive spin-qubit sensor, a single-electron box (SEB), integrated within a bilinear unit cell of planar MOS quantum dots fabricated using an industrial 300-mm wafer process. Independent gate control of the SEB and double-quantum-dot tunnel rates enables optimization of the sensor, achieving state-of-the-art dispersive readout fidelities of 99.92% in 340 μs and 99% in 20 μs. We also develop a hidden Markov model of the two-electron spin dynamics, allowing a more accurate determination of the measurement outcome and corresponding fidelity. Our results show that the compactness and versatility of SEB-based charge sensing can be realized without compromising sensitivity, providing a scalable pathway for future MOS spin-qubit architectures.

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
