contents Using an in-house Schroedinger-Poisson (SP) solver, we investigate the creation of a single hole spin qubit inside a triple-gate triangular silicon fin field effect transistor (Si FinFET) quantum device similar to experimental structures. The gate induced formation of the required quantum dot (QD) is monitored based on the Luttinger-Kohn 6x6 kp method accounting for magnetic fields and strain to determine the qubit ground state. Strain arises from the inhomogeneous contraction of the different FinFET components when they are cooled down to cryogenic temperatures. It leads to a renormalization of the qubit energy levels, thus impacting both the heavy-hole (HH) and light-hole (LH) populations as well as their mixing. The dot length, band mixing, g-factor, and Larmor/Rabi frequencies of the considered device are extracted. In particular, we show that these metrics exhibit strong strain-dependent variations of their magnitude, thus underlying the importance of including realistic thermal contraction scenarios when modeling hole spin qubits.
