Modern complex drilling systems contain communication nodes like sensors, actuators, and controllers, spread along the lower end of a drill string. Here, temperatures of more than 150 °C and pressure levels up to 200 MPa ...

Microcontrollers to be used in harsh environmental conditions, e.g., at high temperatures or radiation exposition, need to be fabricated in robust technology nodes in order to operate reliably. However, these nodes are ...
