Abstract
The development of a fabrication process for single-flux-quantum (SFQ) digital circuits is a fundamental part of the NIST effort to develop a gigahertz waveform synthesizer with quantum voltage accuracy. This paper describes the current SFQ fabrication process used at NIST's Boulder Microfabrication Facility based on Josephson junctions with niobium superconducting electrodes and self-shunted niobium-doped silicon barriers. The planned circuits will be used to explore metrology for advanced computing and communications. We will also describe anticipated process changes and innovations aimed toward further increasing circuit density and clock frequency.Proceedings Title
