  Planar Josephson junctions provide a versatile platform, alternative to the
nanowire-based geometry, for the generation of the Majorana bound states (MBS),
due to the additional phase tunability of the topological superconductivity.
The proximity induction of chiral magnetism and superconductivity in a
two-dimensional electron gas showed remarkable promises to manipulate
topological superconductivity. Here, we propose a new device geometry involving
a skyrmion crystal that resolves several issues of the planar Josephson
junction and show that the MBS can be created and controlled using the
skyrmions. The spin-orbit coupling generated by the skyrmions removes the
requirement of a strong intrinsic Rashba spin-orbit coupling, and the phase
biasing of the Josephson junction to realize the MBS. The skyrmion radius,
being externally tunable by a magnetic field or an anisotropy, offers a useful
control knob for the emergence of the MBS.
