Abstract:	An emerging technology for solutions in high-end applications in computing and telecommunication is superconductor electronics. A system-level study has been carried out to verify the feasibility of DfT in superconductor electronics. In this paper, we present how this can be realized to monitor so-called single-flux quantum pulses. As a part of our research, test structures have been developed to detect structural defects in this technology. We also show detailed test results of those structures. It proves that it is possible to detect possible random defects and provide defect statistics for the Niobium-based fabrication process.
