To estimate the transport time of the multi-zone devices, we assumed that gate zones are connected in a linear geometry, and set the upper bound to the time required to populate the furthest gate zone. Assuming that these devices can move ions safely at3 m/s, and the distance between gate zones is750µm[72], we expect the clock time of multi-zone devices to be tmulti−zone clock ≈250µs×(N gate zones −1), to move the ions between the farthest apart gate zones. For the 5- and 10-gate-zones, this movement is the most time-consuming operation in a single circuit layer, an is thus considered to be the clock time. In contrast, the clock time of the single-gate-zone device corresponds"}],"limit":50,"offset":0}
