Abstract

Electronic devices based on single crystal SiC represent a good choice for a variety of new high temperature, high power electronics applications. The challenge is to develop a package that is resistant to thermal degradation in harsh environments. Conditions are extreme and this all but rules out only a handful of materials and materials systems. Polycrystalline SiC is the material that we have chosen to study as a suitable package and materials suitability/compatibility has been considered on several levels.
