Abstract
A new single flux quantum device is proposed, and, in conjunction with it, fabrication process of Josephson weak links using electron beam lithography and ion-etching is reported. Two types of niobium weak links, microbridges and thick-thin-thick type bridges, have been fabricated. They showed dc supercurrent, but microwave-induced steps were observed for thick-thin-thick type bridge only. The proposed logic device is constructed with a magnetically coupled rf-SQUID cells. These cells behave in the similar manner as “Domino-toppling”, and basic logic operations, AND, OR and NOT, are demonstrated by numerical calculations. Switching delay of about 10ps is expected to be practical.
