在迄今为止最雄心勃勃的超导电子电路设计工具开发计划- IARPA超级工具计划-开始时，我们编写了超导电子社区设计工具开发和使用状况的全面概述。早期的设计软件路线图和工具主要集中在器件和栅极级别，在数千个栅极级别上进行相当简单的合成。今天，这对于模拟电路来说仍然是足够的，但对于非常大规模的集成数字系统来说是完全不够的。超导电子电路设计工具今天仍然是支离破碎的，不完整的，不足以设计非常大规模的集成电路。电子设计工具应该使集成电路的设计和验证从过程建模一直到完整的系统良率和可靠性建模。讨论了实现复杂设计工具的进展和要求。
At the start of the most ambitious development program for superconducting electronics circuit design tools to date—the IARPA SuperTools Program—we compile a comprehensive overview of the state of design tool development and use in the superconducting electronics community. Earlier design software roadmaps and tools were focused heavily on the device and gate level, with reasonably simple synthesis at the level of thousands of gates. Today, this is mostly still adequate for analog circuits, but completely inadequate for very large scale integration digital systems. Superconducting electronics circuit design tools today are still fragmented, incomplete, and insufficient for the design of very large scale integration circuits. Electronic design tools should enable design and verification of integrated circuits from process modeling right up to full system yield and reliability modeling. Progress and requirements to bring about sophisticated design tools are discussed.
