Extreme-Temperature and Harsh-Environment Electronics: Physics, Technology and Applications (Iop Expanding Physics)

Electronic devices and circuits are employed by a range of industries in testing conditions from extremes of high or low temperature, in chemically corrosive environments, subject to shock and vibration or exposure to radiation. This book describes the diverse measures necessary to make electronics capable of coping with such situations as well as to gainfully exploit any new phenomena that take place only under these conditions.
