A source follower circuit was constructed on a custom alumina substrate using thick film hybrid techniques and 4H-SiC: JFETs. The circuit is intended for long term operation at a temperature of 300 degrees C. For this reason, the various components of the circuit assembly (wire bonds, resistors, die attach, substrate metalization) have undergone accelerated reliability testing at an elevated temperature of 500 degrees C, These experiments have confirmed the operation of SIC based circuits at a temperature of 300 degrees C, but also, prove the plausibility of future circuits operating in the 500 degrees C range.
