  • The attributes of group-V-donor spins implanted in an isotopically purified $^{28}$Si crystal make them attractive qubits for large-scale quantum computer devices. Important features include long nuclear and electron spin lifetimes of $^{31}$P, hyperfine clock transitions in $^{209}$Bi and electrically controllable $^{123}$Sb nuclear spins. However, architectures for scalable quantum devices require the ability to fabricate deterministic arrays of individual donor atoms, placed with sufficient precision to enable high-fidelity quantum operations. Here we employ on-chip electrodes with charge-sensitive electronics to demonstrate the implantation of single low-energy (14 keV) P$^+$ ions with an unprecedented $99.87\pm0.02$% confidence, while operating close to room-temperature. This permits integration with an atomic force microscope equipped with a scanning-probe ion aperture to address the critical issue of directing the implanted ions to precise locations. These results show that deterministic single-ion implantation can be a viable pathway for manufacturing large-scale donor arrays for quantum computation and other applications.
