I read an article in "Compressed Air" (a magazine of applied technology and industrial management published by Ingersoll-Rand Co.) about on going work at MIT that is looking at using diamond and a semiconductor material. The advantages of diamond semiconductors are that they can withstand harsh environments and are capable of much higher speeds and power levels that GaAs. As an example of being able to withstand a harsh environment a Schottky diode performed acceptably and 700 C (the highest recorded temperature for a semiconductor). My question is does anyone know the level of developement of these devices and where I might find more information about the current technology? Stuart Harvey stu@ndcheg.cheg.nd.edu
