Electrical Measurements for Electronic Interconnections at NIST

August 1, 1999
Author(s)
Dylan Williams, Donald C. DeGroot
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) operates a number of research projects to advance measurement science and technology for the microelectronic industry. Here we will summarize (1), report on one component of the NIST program, the

Reference Standards, Uncertainties, and the Future of the NIST Electronic Kilogram

July 1, 1999
Author(s)
Richard L. Steiner, David B. Newell, J. Schwarz, Edwin R. Williams
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) watt balance experiment recently made a new determination of Planck's constant with a relative standard uncertainty of 87 x 10 -9 (k = 1), concurrently with an upper limit on the drift rate of the

1 Volt DC Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard System

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
Charles J. Burroughs, Samuel Benz, Todd E. Harvey, Clark A. Hamilton
NIST has developed a programmable Josephson voltage standard (JVS) that produces intrinsically stable voltages that are programmable from -1.1 V to +1.1 V.

Behavior of a Charged Two-Level Fluctuator in Al-AlO x -Al Single-Electron Transistor

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
M. Kenyon, J. L. Cobb, A. Amar, D. Song, C. J. Lobb, Neil M. Zimmerman, F. C. Wellstood
We have studied the behavior of a charged two-level fluctuator in an Al-AlO x -Al single-electron transistor (SET) in the normal state over a temperature range from 85 mK to 3K. The fluctuator caused the SET's island charge to shift by δQ0= 0.11 0.025 e

Operating Conditions for a Pulse-Quantized AC and DC Bipolar Voltage Source

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
Samuel Benz, Charles J. Burroughs, Todd E. Harvey, Clark A. Hamilton
We have developed an accurate ac and dc bipolar voltage source based on the quantized pulses of Josephson junctions. A factor-of-6 increase in output voltage over previous unipolar waveforms is achieved by generating bipolar waveforms where arrays of

Operating Margins for a Superconducting Voltage Waveform Synthesizer

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
Samuel Benz, Clark A. Hamilton, Charles J. Burroughs
Operating margins for biolar superconducting voltage waveform synthesizer were measured. Current ranges were determined for 101 equally spaced dc voltage steps between - 18.6 and + 18.6 mV. The measured voltages of these steps deviated from the expected

A Result from the NIST Watt Balance and an Analysis of Uncertainties

April 1, 1999
Author(s)
Richard L. Steiner, David B. Newell, Edwin R. Williams
An improved determination of the ratio of power, measured in terms of the Josephson and quantum Hall effects, and also the meter, kilogram, and second, has been completed. The result is expressed as: W 90/W = 1 + (8187) x 10 -9. This is an order of

Fabrication of High-Value Standard Resistors

April 1, 1999
Author(s)
Ronald F. Dziuba, Dean G. Jarrett, L. L. Scott, Andrew J. Secula
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has fabricated stable, transportable 10 MΩ} and 1 GΩ} standard resistors for use in an international comparison of high resistances. This fabrication process is being applied to the construction of

The NIST Watt Balance: Recent Results and Future Plans

March 1, 1999
Author(s)
David B. Newell, Richard L. Steiner, Edwin R. Williams
The last remaining SI base unit defined by an artifact is the kilogram. The NIST watt balance has been designed to measure the ratio of mechanical to electrical power, linking the artifact kilogram, the meter, and the second to the practical realizations

A Problem in AC Quantized Hall Resistance Measurements and a Proposed Solution

November 1, 1998
Author(s)
Marvin E. Cage, Anne-Marie Jeffery
In all experiments reported to date the measurement values of the ac quantized Hall resistances R H varied with the applied current frequency, and differed significantly from the dc values of R H, making it difficult to use the ac quantum Hall effect as an
