In this work, we have developed a systematic way of utilizing the basic design tools for superconductive electronics. This include WRSPICE, XIC, margin program, and L-meter. Since the high performance analog-to- digital converter can be built with Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) logic circuits the development of superconductive analog-to-digital converter has attracted a lot of interests as one of the most prospective area of the application of Josephson Junction technology. One of the main advantages in using Rapid Single Flux Quantum logic in the analog-to-digital converter is the low voltage output from the Josephson junction switching, and hence the high resolution. To design an 1-bit analog-digital converter, first we have used XIC tool to compose a circuit schematic, and then studied the operational principle of the circuit with WRSPICE tool. Through this process, we obtained the proper circuit diagram of an 1-bit analog-digital converter circuit. Based on this circuit we performed margin calculations of the designed circuits and optimized circuit parameters. The optimized circuit was laid out as a mask drawing. Inductance values of the circuit layout were calculated with L-meter. Circuit inductors were adjusted according to these calculations and the final layout was obtained.

PCA에 기반을 둔 CMOS 소자 기술은 메모리 혹은 ALU 회로의 구현에 매우 효율적이다. 그러나 CMOS 소자 스케일링 기술의 한계로 인하여 이를 해결할 수 있는 새로운 기술의 필요성이 대두되었고, 양자점 셀룰러 오토마타(QCA; quantum-dot cellular automata)는 이를 해결할 수 있는 기술로 등장했다. 본 논문에서는 QCA에 기반을 둔 효율적인 PCA 구조를 설계한다. 설계하는 PCA 구조에서의 D 플립플롭과 XOR 논리게이트는 기존에 제안되었던 회로를 사용하고, 입력 제어 스위치와 규칙 제어 스위치는 QCA에 기반을 두고 새롭게 설계한다. 설계된 PCA 구조는 QCA디자이너를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하고, 그 결과를 기존의 것과 비교 및 분석하여 설계된 구조의 효율성을 확인한다.

The application of neutron noise analysis (NNA) to the ex-core neutron detector signal for monitoring the vibration characteristics of a reactor core support barrel (CSB) was investigated. Ex-core flux data were generated by using a nonanalog Monte Carlo neutron transport method in a simulated CSB model where the implicit capture and Russian roulette technique were utilized. First and third order beam and shell modes of CSB vibration were modeled based on parallel processing simulation. A NNA module was developed to analyze the ex-core flux data based on its time variation, normalized power spectral density, normalized cross-power spectral density, coherence, and phase differences. The data were then analyzed with a fuzzy logic module to determine the vibration characteristics. The ex-core neutron signal fluctuation was directly proportional to the CSB's vibration observed at 8Hz and15Hzin the beam mode vibration, and at 8Hz in the shell mode vibration. The coherence result between flux pairs was unity at the vibration peak frequencies. A distinct pattern of phase differences was observed for each of the vibration models. The developed fuzzy logic module demonstrated successful recognition of the vibration frequencies, modes, orders, directions, and phase differences within 0.4 ms for the beam and shell mode vibrations.

Due to high speed operations and ultra low power consumptions RSFQ logic circuit is a very good candidate for future electronic device. The focus of the RSFQ circuit development has been on the advancement of analog-to-digital converters and microprocessors. Recent works on RSFQ ALU development showed the successful operation of an 1-bit block of ALU at 40 GHz. Recently, the study of an RSFQ analog-to-digital converter has been extended to the development of a single chip RF digital receiver. Compared to the voltage logic circuits, RSFQ circuits operate based on the pulse logic. This naturally leads the circuit structure of RSFQ circuit to be pipelined. Delay time on each pipelined stage determines the ultimate operating speed of the circuit. In simulations, a two junction Josephson transmission line's delay time was about 10 ps, a splitter's 14.5 ps, a switch's 13 ps, a half adder's 67 ps. Optimization of the 4-bit ALU circuit has been made with delay time consideration to operate comfortably at 10 GHz or above.

We have simulated and Laid out a Single Flux Quantum(SFQ) AND gate for Arithmetic Logic Unit by using XIC, WRspice and Lmeter. This circuit is a combination of two D Flip-Flop. D Flip- Flop and dc SQUID are the similar shape from the fact that it has the a loop inductor and two Josephson junction. We also obtained operating margins and accomplished layout of the AND gate. We got the margin of $\pm$42% over.

We have designed a SFQ (Single Flux Quantum) D2 Cell and Inverter(NOT) for a superconducting ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). To optimize the circuit, we have used Julia, XIC and Lmeter for simulations and layouts. We obtained the circuit margin of larger than $\pm$25%. After layout, we drew chip for fabrication of SFQ D2 Cell and Inverter. We connected D2 Cell and Inverter to jtl, DC/SFQ, SFQ/DC and RS flip-flop for measurement.
