2002 EDS PAUL RAPPAPORT AWARD
Starting 2002, the IEEE Electron Devices Society has decided to confer the Paul Rappaport Award to the best paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices exclusively. In prior years, papers from both IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices and IEEE Electron Device Letters were considered for this award. The recipients are awarded a certificate and a check for $2,500, presented at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM).
The winner of the 2002 award is a paper entitled, "Design and Fabrication of 50-nm Thin-Body p-MOSFETs with a Silicon-Germanium Heterostructure Channel", which appeared in the February, 2002 issue of Transactions on Electron Devices, and was authored by Jeffrey Bokor, Chenming Hu, Jakub Kedzierski, Tsu-Jae King, Vivek Subramanian, Peiqi Xuan and Yee Chia Yeo. The 2002 award will be presented at the IEDM on 8 December, 2003 in Washington, D.C. The following are brief biographies of the seven winners.
Jeffrey
Bokor is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Sciences at the Uni-versity of California at Berkeley, with a
joint appointment at the Lawrence Berkeley Na-tional Laboratory.
His current research activities include novel techniques for nanofabrication,
new devices for nanoelectronics, and extreme ultraviolet lithography.
Chenming
Hu is the CTO of TSMC and the TSMC Distinguished Professor
of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley.
He received the 2002 IEEE Solid State Circuits Award for co-developing
BSIM, the industry standard MOSFET model for IC simulation, and
the 1997 IEEE Jack Morton Award for contributions to MOSFET reliability
physics.
Jakub
Kedzierski received his Ph.D. degree from the University of
California at Berkeley in 2001. He is currently a research staff
member at the IBM Watson Research Center. His research interests
include the investigation of thin-body devices, and the integration
of silicides as gate electrodes.
Tsu-Jae
King received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from
Stanford University. From 1992 to 1996, she was a Member of Research
Staff at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. Since 1996, she
has been with the University of California at Berkeley, where
she is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Sciences, and Director of the UC Berkeley Microfabrication Laboratory.
Her research activities are in advanced materials, devices, and
technology for integrated circuits and micro-electromechanical
devices.
Vivek
Subramanian received his PhD from Stanford University in 1998.
He co-founded Matrix Semiconductor. He is currently an Assistant
Professor in the EECS Department, University of California, Berkeley.
He was nominated to Technology Review's TR100 list (2002), to
the NAE's "Frontiers of Engineering" (2003), and received
an NSF CAREER award.
Peiqi
Xuan was born in Shaoxing, China, in 1973. He received a Bachelor's
degree in physics from Peking University in 1996, and received
a Master's degree in EECS from University of California at Berkeley
in 2000. His Ph.D. research at UC Berkeley involves the fabrication
and modeling of sub 50nm UTB and DG MOSFETs.
Yee-Chia
Yeo received the M.S. and Ph.D degrees from the University
of California, Berkeley. For the period 2001-2003, he worked on
exploratory devices at TSMC. He is currently an Assistant Professor
at the National University of Singapore. His research interest
relates to nano-transistor technology, including strained-channel
devices, metal-gates, and advanced dielectrics.
