Abstract(in English) We have been developing Josephson-CMOS hybrid memory, which is a combination of CMOS memory and Josephson logic circuits, to realize a large-scale memory system that is compatible with Josephson logic circuits. In this study we designed, fabricated and evaluated a Josephson latching driver, an interface circuit used in Josephson-CMOS hybrid memory, using AIST 10-kA/cm2 Nb process. A JLD is composed of a voltage driver named Suzuki stack and a 4JL gate as a pre-amplifier. We optimized the critical current and the output resistance of the 4JL gate, considering the junction parameters in the 10-kA/cm2 process to make bias margins of both the Suzuki stack and the 4JL gate increased. In the experiment of a fabricated circuit, a bit-error-rate smaller than 10-12 was obtained at 2 GHz operating frequency.
