Here, we demonstrate the use of custom high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures to amplify current from quantum dot devices. The amplifier circuit is located adjacent to the quantum dot device, at sub-Kelvin temperatures, in order to reduce the impact of cable capacitance and environmental noise. Using this circuit, we show a current gain of 380 for 0.56 μW of power dissipation, with a bandwidth of 2.7 MHz and current noise referred to the input of 24 fA/Hz^1/2 for frequencies of 0.1–1 MHz. The power consumption required for similar gain is reduced by more than a factor of 20 compared to a previous demonstration using a commercial off-the-shelf HEMT. Lastly, we also demonstrate integration of a HEMT amplifier circuit on-chip with a quantum dot device, which has the potential to reduce parasitics and should allow for more complex circuits with reduced footprints.
