Editors Weide-Zaage and Chrzanowska-Jeske present readers with a collection of research papers and scholarly articles investigating current and emerging application for semiconductor devices in an array of harsh conditions on earth and beyond. The editors have organized the ten selections that make up the main body of the text in three parts devoted to radiation, sensors and operating conditions, and packaging and system design. Kristin Weide-Azzge is a faculty member of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany. Malgorzata Chrzanowska-Jeske is a faculty member of Portland State University in Oregon.

The book focuses on radiation, operating conditions, sensor systems, and package and system design. It is divided into three parts: The first part deals with sensing devices designed for operating in the presence of radiation, commercials of the shelf (COTS) products for space computing, and influences of single event upset. Part two covers system and package design for harsh operating conditions, and part three presents devices for biomedical applications under moisture and temperature loads in the frame of sensor systems and operating conditions.
