Abstract(in English) We have been developing a Josephson-CMOS hybrid memory, which enables sub-nanosecond access time. In our previous study, we obtained the access time of about 1.38ns for particular memory address in a 64kbit hybrid memory system. In this study, we implemented a hybrid memory with a bit-serial input port for the memory address using SFQ circuits in order to measure the access time of arbitrary memory address. We designed a 64kbit hybrid memory system using a 0.18μm CMOS process and ISTEC 2.5kA/cm^2 Nb process. The access time was measured directly by an SFQ time-to-digital converter. We measured the access time of the hybrid memory for seven different addresses. Measured access times were ranging from 1.43 to 1.47ns depending on the position in the memory cell array. The results agree well with the simulation results taking account the wire delay of the memory system.
