簡介 當今世界上最快的集成電路採用的是超導
金屬鈮,而非半導體化合物製造。該技術基於約瑟夫森結 (Josephson junction) 元件和超導連接間單個磁通量子的傳送。
這些工作在 10K 溫度下的超導 IC ,於 1980 年早期研究的超導 IC 大有不同。正是在那些項目快結束的時候,一些新發現導致第二代超導材料和電路製造工藝的出現 , 發展出一種基於單個磁通量子的儲存和傳輸,稱為快速單磁通量子 (RSFQ) 的邏輯電路結構。

R.S.F.Q 基本原理
約瑟夫森效應於 1962 年由約瑟夫森提出, 1963 年由安德孫和夏皮羅實驗証實。現代約瑟夫森元件由兩層超導薄膜及中間的絕緣層構成,電子對因穿隧效應穿越絕緣層,在超導體內引起電流。
RSFQ 電路中代表信號位的不是靜態電壓,而是磁通量子的存在與否。

R.S.F.Q 基本原理
RSFQ 電路不直接利用逃逸的量子,而是依靠磁通量子進入或離開環路時在 Junction 中產生的短電壓脈衝。如約瑟夫森結為 1um 邊長的方形,電壓脈衝持續時間約 1ps ,幅度 2mV 。隨結尺寸減小, SFQ 脈衝變窄,但幅度 - 時間乘積保持不變 2mV-ps {2x10-15 韋伯 } 。
電壓脈衝可通過微傳輸線或主動約瑟夫森傳輸線快速傳輸到其它們。所有傳輸都是超導的,損失極小,時鐘頻率高達 750GHz 。

Dual –rail logic gate based on RSFQ cells
目的 : RSFQ 的靈敏度受限於電路參數和電源供應變異的影響 ,尤其在極高頻時 , 時鐘 (clock) 脈衝的分佈將更為複雜 . 為解決此一問題 ,我們可使用 dual-rail 資料型式的非同步資料驅動閘 .
缺點 : 硬體使用量大 for example :
44 Josephson junction for dual-rail gate
XOR gate :
only 9 junctions for classical RSFQ gate

結 論
商業化前景 :
(1) RSFQ 不需要昂貴的製造設備 , 在矽晶片製造中幾乎過時的 1μm級設備就夠了,而且 RSFQ 元件的製造本身比任何半導體製造都簡單,不需要包括外延生長、摻雜或離子注入在內的複雜步驟 ,僅需要在矽晶圓片上濺射超導薄膜和絕緣層,而晶圓可保持在接近室溫 ---------------------------- 製程便宜且容易。
速度是目前最快半導體 IC 的 100倍,所有技術都需要考慮到電磁信號的分布式本質。
