ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation presents an overview of the research and publications of the candidate and his research group on the design of superconductor integrated circuits around inductance as a key circuit parameter, on the development and verification of inductance extraction tools for complex, three-dimensional integrated circuit models, and on the application of self- and mutual inductance extraction and magnetic _eld analysis to the improvement of superconductor circuit and system design. The research spans more than two decades, and culminates in the extraction of compact simulation models for the analysis of superconductor integrated circuits in the presence of trapped ux and external magnetic _elds, which was not previously possible. The golden thread that ties all of his work together is inductance in superconductor integrated circuits.
AFRIKAANS OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif bied 'n oorsig van die navorsing en publikasies van die kandidaat en sy navorsingsgroep op die ontwerp van supergeleier ge ntegreerde stroombane rondom induktansie as 'n kernparameter, op die ontwikkeling en veri kasie van induktansieonttrekkingsagteware vir komplekse, drie-dimensionele ge ntegreerde stroombaanmodelle, en op die toepassing van self- en wedersydse induktansie-onttrekking en magnetiese veldanalises op die verbetering van supergeleier stroombaan- en stelselontwerp. Die navorsing strek oor meer as twee dekades, en lei tot die onttrekking van kompakte simulasiemodelle vir die analise van supergeleier ge ntegreerde stroombane in die teenwoordigheid van vasgevangde magnetiese vloed en eksterne magnetiese velde. Hierdie vermo e was nie voorheen beskikbaar nie. Die goue draad wat al sy werk saambind is induktansie in supergeleier ge ntegreerde stroombane.
