Abstract
Using self-shunted MgB2/MgO/MgB2 Josephson junctions, we have designed, fabricated, and tested a rapid single flux quantum toggle flip flop (TFF) circuit. The junctions used MgB2 films grown by hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition with MgO barrier layer and insulating layer deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. The result showed the frequency-division function of the TFF circuit, evidenced by the output voltage being half the input voltage, up to 63 GHz at 20 K and 180 GHz at 3.2 K, which demonstrates the potential of high operating speeds and high working temperatures in MgB2 superconducting integrated circuits.
