This cryogenic technology, typically operating at a few degrees or a few tens of degrees Kelvin, depends upon the unique physics of superconducting materials such as Nb, NbN, and YBaCuO, and the fundamental circuit element, the Josephson junction (JJ) to create unique architectures of unprecedented design efficiency and performance. These circuits are based on the single flux quantum (SFQ) logic family, a technology that has no parallel in semiconductor electronics. Digital data is transmitted by voltage pulses with amplitude less than 1 mV, but at extremely high speeds. Individual gates have been operated as high as 370 GHz. In this paper, we present a brief overview of superconductive digital technology, describe some recent circuits, and discuss how the challenges to superconductive technology are being met, including the use of multi-chip module (MCM) technology, and the potential use of III-V HBT and HEMT circuits to provide interface drivers and amplifiers, possibly operated cryogenically.","PeriodicalId":299287,"journal":{"name":"GaAs IC Symposium.
