Announcement of the EDS Graduate Student Fellowship Winners for 2003
In 2000, the IEEE approved the establishment
of the Electron Devices Society Graduate Student Fellowship Program.
It is designed to promote, recognize, and support graduate level
study and research within the Electron Devices Society's field
of interest. The field of interest for EDS is all aspects of the
physics, engineering, theory and phenomena of electron and ion
devices such as elemental and compound semiconductor devices,
organic and other emerging materials based devices, quantum effect
devices, optical devices, displays and imaging devices, photovoltaics,
solid-state sensors and actuators, solid-state power devices,
high frequency devices, micromechanics, tubes and other vacuum
devices.
The society is concerned with research, development, design and
manufacture related to the materials, processing, technology,
and applications of such devices, and the scientific, technical
and other activities that contribute to the advancement of this
field.
EDS proudly announces the two 2003 EDS Graduate Student Fellowship
winners. Brief biographies of the 2003 recipients follow.
Detailed articles about each Graduate Student Fellowship winners
and his work will appear in forthcoming issues of the EDS Newsletter.
Yu-Long
Jiang was born in 1977 in Hebei Province, China. He received his
B.S. degree in physics in 1999 and his M.S. degree in microelectronics
and solid-state electronics in 2002 at Fudan University, Shanghai,
China. Since September of 2002, he has been pursuing his Ph.D.
degree in microelectronics &
solid-state electronics at Fudan University. He was invited by
Axcelis Technologies Inc. (Massachusetts) to co-develop Ni-salicide
technology on ultra shallow junctions from February to August
of 2003. He was the winner of 2002 GE Fund Edison Cup Technology
Innovation Competition. His current research interests include
VLSI technology, device physics and modeling. He has authored
or co-authored nine papers.
Javier
A. Salcedo was born in Mérida, Venezuela, on August 16,
1977. He received his Professional degree in Electronics Engineering
from the Universidad Simón Bolívar (USB), Caracas,
Venezuela, in 1999, and his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering
from the University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, in 2003.
From 1997 to 2001, he was a member of the technical staff at USB
Solid-State Electronics Laboratory. While there, he conducted
research on sub-micron MOS physics-based modeling and parameter
extraction, embedded systems design, and transducers design for
RF applications. He has published ten papers in referred technical
journals and conference proceedings, and has worked on the design
of innovative electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection cells for
emerging MEMS applications at NIST and for commercial communication
systems at Intersil Corporation. In 2003, he received the IEEE
Outstanding Graduate Student Award from the IEEE Orlando Section.
He is currently a Ph.D student at the University of Central Florida,
where his research work focuses on the development of CAD tools
for the design and simulation of novel ESD protection cells for
integrated circuits and MEMS-based embedded sensor system-on-chip
technologies.
