High Temperature Electronics

It is now possible to design electronic systems that will operate reliably above the traditional temperature limit. To do this, however, requires a solid understanding of semiconductor physics, device processing, materials selection, package design, thermal management, and the application. With topics ranging from semiconductor device selection to testing and final assembly, High Temperature Electronics brings all of this information together into one volume. It offers unified, unsurpassed coverage of high temperature electronics, including techniques, tradeoffs, best design practices and applications such as avionics and geothermal measurements.
