Abstract
A device for controlling trapped ions includes a first substrate. A second substrate is disposed over the first substrate. One or a plurality of first level ion traps is configured to trap ions in a space between the first substrate and the second substrate. One or a plurality of second level ion traps is configured to trap ions in a space above the second substrate. An opening in the second substrate is provided through which ions can be transferred between a first level ion trap and a second level ion trap.

A device for controlling trapped ions, the device comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate disposed over the first substrate;
- one or a plurality of first level ion traps configured to trap ions in a space between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- one or a plurality of second level ion traps configured to trap ions in a space above the second substrate;
- and
- an opening in the second substrate through which ions can be transferred between a first level ion trap and a second level ion trap.
A method of controlling trapped ions in a device having a first substrate, a second substrate disposed over the first substrate, one or a plurality of first level ion traps configured to trap ions in a space between the first substrate and the second substrate, one or a plurality of second level ion traps configured to trap ions in a space above the second substrate, and an opening in the second substrate, the method comprising:
- transferring ions between a first level ion trap and a second level ion trap through the opening.
