Abstract
Electronics that must operate at extreme temperatures present a unique set of challenges that must be carefully addressed. We review the applications that are calling for high temperature electronics, discuss some of the underlying problems with standard technology, and examine the established and emerging technologies that provide solutions to engineers who wish to design high-temperature electronic systems.

High-temperature electronics - a role for wide bandgap semiconductors?

TL;DR: It appears unlikely that wide bandgap semiconductor devices will find much use in low-power transistor applications until the ambient temperature exceeds approximately 300/spl deg/C, as commercially available silicon and silicon-on-insulator technologies are already satisfying requirements for digital and analog VLSI in this temperature range.
