I think that the thermal limit is diffusion of dopants in geometric configs. Also vapor epitaxi was used on ruby and Alumina both relativly cheap and matching the thermal coefficient of expansion of Si -WF-A way to eliminate the power problem would be to switch to a carbon substrate. Diamond is an excellent thermal conductor. And the resulting transistors can run at much higher temperatures without melting
