Duality Between Superconducting and Semiconducting Electronics

Abstract

The existence of a formal analogy between semiconductive and superconductive circuits is pointed out. A sampling of circuits in both technologies is analyzed and compared on the basis of the analogy, and a new FET circuit is described which is the analog of a known superconductive circuit. The heuristic value of the analogy is emphasized. Copyright © 1979 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
