    摘要: During the manufacture of Josephson superconducting devices, it is necessary to provide on a substrate a base electrode, a counter electrode and a small tunnel barrier area therebetween. A novel method of making all three of these active elements in the same vacuum chamber without having to remove the substrate from the vacuum chamber is provided so that the tunnel barrier area is accurately made to a predetermined size and without the danger of contamination. The novel structure is made as a substantially planarized laminate in the vacuum chamber and the tunnel barrier area is defined in a supplemental step.

The output of the single AND gate is directly coupled to a Josephson junction flux storage loop capable of storing flux indicative of the output of the AND gate. A Josephson junction sense line is provided capable of sensing the flux condition of the flux storage loop. The sense line is directly coupled to amplifying gates which produce amplified true and complement quantities whenever the sense line is actuated.

    摘要: A Josephson junction AND gate logic circuit is provided which has an enhanced and improved operating window area. The circuit comprises two parallel branches one for the input and one for the output connected between a biasing current source and a ground or reference voltage. The input branch is provided with a first branch resistor, a third Josephson junction and an interferometer in series between the current source and ground. A plurality of input gate signal lines connects to the interferometer and a sink resistor is connected in parallel with the interferometer. When the input current signals collectively exceed a predetermined level, the two Josephson junctions in the interferometer switch ON and assume the high impedance state. The input current and biasing current is diverted into the output branch causing the second Josephson junction in the output branch to switch ON. The biasing current in the output branch creates a high-gain current to the load circuit connected in parallel with the second Josephson junction.

    摘要: A superconductive Josephson junction high density memory array is provided. Each memory cell in the array comprises a two branch superconducting interferometer storage loop which has only a single Josephson junction device in one of the branches. The Josephson junction devices are mounted on a substrate having a patterned ground plane. The ground plane pattern is provided with holes or apertures which surround the Josephson junction devices so that the control current of the control lines couple with the tunnel junctions of the Josephson junction devices but not with the ground plane. This structural arrangement provides a threshold characteristic for the single Josephson junction device which is symmetrical to the gate current, thus, may be easily switched to two current states indicative of two logic states.

    摘要: A single Josephson junction device is arranged in a single branch which comprises an external source resistor connected in series with an output resistor and a Josephson junction device. An input node and an input resistor are in series and connected to the node between the output resistor and the Josephson junction device. Voltage signals applied to the input voltage node are amplified by connecting a high gain voltage output in parallel with the output resistor and providing sensing means for sensing the voltage output across the output resistor only when the Josephson junction device is switching from its low impedance state to its high impedance state.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a rotating substrate holder is provided. The rotating substrate holder is hollow and adapted to receive liquid gas such as nitrogen to cool the substrate to cryogenic temperatures. The novel substrate holder is supported inside of a vacuum chamber by a thin wall tube which is sealed with a liquid rotating seal at the point where it passes completely through the top wall of the vacuum chamber. The novel thin wall tube support provides access to the hollow substrate holder from outside the vacuum chamber and provides temperature isolation of the liquid in the substrate holder so that the liquid rotating seals are maintained at operable elevated temperatures.

    摘要: A novel method of depositing the oxide barrier junction on a base electrode of a Josephson junction device is provided. An ionized oxygen plasma region is generated juxtaposed the surface of the base electrode to be oxidized. The pressure of the oxygen in the vacuum chamber is held at a predetermined high pressure where the zero voltage supercurrent is found to be independent of oxygen pressure variations and the flow of oxygen through the vacuum chamber is stabilized at the optimum minimum necessary for growth of the oxide barrier junction. The oxide barrier junctions so produced have consistent and predictable supercurrent densities.
