ColdFlux superconducting EDA and TCAD tools project: Overview and progress

Abstract

The IARPA SuperTools program requires the development of superconducting electronic design automation (S-EDA) and superconducting technology computer-aided design (S-TCAD) tools aimed at enabling the reliable design of complex superconducting digital circuits with millions of Josephson junctions. Within the SuperTools program, the ColdFlux project addresses S-EDA and S-TCAD tool research and development in four areas: 1) RTL synthesis, architectures and verification; 2) analog design and layout synthesis; 3) physical design and test; and 4) device and process modeling/simulation and cell library design. Capabilities include, but are not limited to, the following: device level modeling and simulation of Josephson junctions, modeling and simulation of the superconducting process manufacturing processes, powerful new electrical circuit simulation, parameterized schematic and layout libraries …
