We are working with an international consortium to develop passive components for high temperature electronics. 

Over recent years there has been considerable work carried out on developing semiconductors for application at high temperatures, and there are now commercially available devices that can operate at 250 C or even above. However, to use these devices in a system it is necessary to also have available passive components such as resistors, inductors and capacitors that will also function reliably at these temperatures. Such high temperature passive components are scarce.

tCORE is engaged with a large multinational collaboration to develop such components. The programme commenced in October 2001 and will take 3 years to complete. Non confidential information on the progress of this programme will be posted here. If you would like to receive email updates, then please register here.
