The Josephson Technology

Abstract

The status of the superconductive Josephson technology is presented with emphasis on the activities related to the digital systems area. The important properties of the Josephson technology which make it potentially the highest performance technology axe briefly reviewed. After an introduction to the Josephson junction and devices, the system components such as logic, memory, and package are discussed. The chip fabrication process is reviewed and some experimental chips are described. © 1982 IEEE
