Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have been developing a Josephson/CMOS hybrid memory, which enables the sub-nanosecond access time to overcome a memory bottleneck in RSFQ digital systems. In our previous study, we obtained the access time of a few nanoseconds, which is much larger than the value evaluated from the simulation using our low-temperature CMOS device model. We consider that deterioration of the access time is due to the parasitic capacitance at the bonding pad of the Josephson chip. In this study, we measured the access time using the Josephson chip with reduced parasitic capacitance. We have obtained the access time of about 1.2ns in the 16kb hybrid memory system, which agrees well with the simulation results.
