They are also looking at a 16 Kbit RAM chip. ETL is constructing a hybrid chip to communicate between a Si LSI chip running at 200 MHz and a superconducting chip running at 2 GHz. Fujitsu is also investigating communication between Si and superconducting devices. Their approach is to develop a circuit with separate components. It started in 1988 for 10 years.
Similar project are underway all round the world and in several independent collaborations in Japan.
Table 8 lists the industrial participants and their project areas. Note that three different companies were given the task of building three different 70 MVA generators. These are now all running and tests will continue until 1999. Mitsubishi Electric - 70 MVA slow response, high current. Toshiba - 70 MVA fast response, low loss.
