Title: "Conductive Barrier Josephson
Junctions for 100 ghz+ Superconductive Circuit Applications" Abstract:
Like transistors to CMOS technology, Josephson junctions are the fundamental
devices of superconductive circuit technology. Despite the requirement of cryogenic
cooling, rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) logic based superconductive circuits
promise high-speed, low power, and uncomplicated circuit design that can not be
matched by any known semiconductor based circuits. RSFQ has strong potential for
large-scale and high-performance applications operate at 100 GHz or beyond, such
as microprocessors and communication systems. However, material and process related
issues plagued the design of Josephson junctions that used in current industry.
As a result, RSFQ technology is still far away from the speed and integration
levels it promised to deliver. We predicted that junction with near metal-insulator
transition material as barrier can have characteristics that are ideal for the
next generation of RSFQ circuits. I will report on both experimental and theoretical
investigations that aimed towards our goal of 1.) developing new junctions as
drop-in replacements for tunnel junctions in the existing RSFQ circuit process.
2) understanding the fundamental physical principles regarding the transport properties
of near metal-insulator transition barrier junctions, especially those related
to high speed. Ideally, we intended to establish a set of principles governing
the design of all conductive barrier Josephson junctions. Reception to follow
in Hayes Hall Lobby.
