| Researchers Design Circuits That Can Survice at Temperaturs Greater Than 350 Degree Celsius |
Researchers at Arkansas University have invent integrated circuit that can survive at greater than 350 degree celsius. a breakthrough they say will improve the functioning of processors, drivers,controllers, and other analog and digital circuits used in power electronics, automobiles and aerospace equipment.
The researchs worked with silicon carbide, a semiconducting material that is more rugged than conventional materials used in electronic. Silicon carbide is able to withstand extremely high voltage and is a good thermal conductor, means it can operate at high temperatures without requiring extra equipment to remove heat.
"This ruggedness allows these circuits to be placed in locations where standard silicon-based parts can't survice," said Alan Mantooth(Distinguished Professor).
The research was a part of the National Science Foundation's Building Innovation Capacity Program, which is designed to partner university and industry research to build intellectual collaborations so that innobations flow from ides to solid research result, company prototypes and products.
