Semiconductor devices for high-temperature environments exceeding 800°C

Silicon (Si) semiconductors are ubiquitous in electrical appliances and play an essential role in our daily lives. However, in high-temperature environments exceeding 300°C, such as underground resource drilling, space exploration, and engine peripherals, improved semiconductor materials are required because of the limited operational temperature range of Si devices.
