We describe a fabrication process for devices with few quantum bits (qubits), which are suitable for proof-of-principle demonstrations of silicon-based quantum computation. The devices follow the Kane proposal of using the nuclear spins of³¹P donors in²⁸Si as qubits, controlled by metal surface gates and measured using single-electron transistors (SETs). The accurate registration of³¹P donors to control gates and read-out SETs is achieved through the use of a self-aligned process which incorporates electron beam patterning, ion implantation and triple-angle shadow-mask metal evaporation.
