Adding to the well known advantages of semiconductors, passive superconductive elements such as transmission lines offer the possibility of low loss, dispersionless signal transmission while active devices such as Josephson junctions make it possible to achieve very fast switching speeds with limited generation of heat. Film growth issues that limit the quality of (high temperature superconductor) HTSC thin films deposited directly on Si are discussed. Promising initial results-using intermediate (buffer) layers-represent a major step towards complete integration of HTSCs with Si and VLSI technology.
