摘要
We designed a quasi-one junction superconducting quantum interference device (QOS) based on single-flux-quantum technology using high-T-c superconductors. A circuit containing 10 interface-engineered ramp-edge Josephson junctions was fabricated on a La-substituted YBa2Cu3Oy ground plane. The output voltage as a function of the input current for the QOS indicated correct operation as a periodic comparator at clock frequency of 94 and 77 GHz at 35 and 40 K, respectively. A comparison of the observed maximum operating frequency with the product of the critical current and normal resistance for the junctions suggests that comparator operation above 100 GHz at 40 K is possible if one optimizes the junction parameters.
