Leda M. Lunardi |
LEDA M. LUNARDI received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. in physics from the University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1976 and 1979, respectively, and her Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1985. Her Ph.D. thesis was the first one in the USA on GaAs-based heterojunction bipolar transistors. In 1985, she joined AT&T Bell Labs, in Murray Hill, NJ, where her research focused on high speed heterojunction devices, including resonant tunneling structures. In 1990, she joined the Photonics Research Devices Department in Crawford Hill, Holmdel, where along with S. Chandrasekhar, pioneered the long wavelength optical electronic integrated photoreceivers (OEICs) for a broad range of applications.

H.S. Philip Wong |
H. S. PHILIP WONG received the B.Sc. (Hons.) degree from the University of Hong Kong in 1982, the M.S. degree from the State University of New York, Stony Brook, in 1983, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, in 1988. He joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, in 1988, where he is now Senior Manager of Exploratory Devices and Integration Technology. Since 1993, he has been working on the device physics, fabrication, and applications of nanoscale CMOS devices. His recent work has been on the physics and fabrication technology of double-gate/back-gate MOSFETs and strained Si MOSFETs for CMOS technologies towards the 25-nm channel length regime. In the applications arena, his work has been on solid-state imaging. His recent work has been imaging devices using CMOS technologies and the impact of device scaling on CMOS imaging systems. His interest in solid-state imaging began when he joined IBM in 1988. From 1988 to 1992, he was a member of a team that worked on the design, fabrication, and characterization of a high resolution, high color-fidelity CCD image scanner for art works archiving. These scanners are now in use at several premier museums around the world.
