Abstract: This work describes recent progress in the design, processing, and testing of significantly up-scaled 500 C durable 4H-SiC junction field effect transistor (JFET) integrated circuit (IC) technology with two-level interconnect undergoing development at NASA Glenn Research Center. For the first time, stable electrical operation of semiconductor ICs for over one year at 500 C in air atmosphere is reported. These groundbreaking durability results were attained on two-level interconnect JFET demon…
