Call for Nominations and Suggestions for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award and Other IEEE Technical Field Awards

Nominations and nominee suggestions are sought for recipients of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award and other IEEE Technical Field Awards (TFAs). The 22 IEEE TFAs are institutewide and are awarded annually to recognize outstanding contributors to the art and science of electro- and information technologies. Deadline for submission of nominees for TFAs is 31 January of each year.

The Solid-State Circuits Technical Field Award is clearly the most relevant to SSCS members. It is awarded for outstanding contributions in the field of solid-state circuits to an individual or team of not more than three. The presentation includes a Bronze medal, certificate, and $10,000.

Other TFAs in areas relevant to the SSCS include:

• The Cledo Brunetti Award for outstanding contributions in miniaturization in the electronic arts
• The IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award for outstanding contributions to the field of consumer electronics
• The IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award for important contributions to emerging technologies recognized within recent years
• The IEEE Frederik Philips Award for outstanding accomplishments in the management of R&D resulting in effective innovation
• The IEEE David Sarnoff Award for outstanding contribution in electronics, with preference given to an individual for achievement in the past 10 years

It is perfectly acceptable to nominate an individual or team for more than one TFA for the same work (if the work falls within the scope of the respective TFAs). While the nominee(s) cannot receive more than one TFA for the same work, it does increase one's chances of winning. A complete list of IEEE Technical Field Awards is available on the IEEE Web site: www.ieee.org/about/awards/tfalst.htm. The SSCS Awards Committee welcomes suggestions for nominations for any or all of these awards. Any person may nominate a candidate for an IEEE medal or award; self-nomination, however, is not allowed. The SSCS Awards Committee will help in the nomination process and will undertake finding appropriate nominators if necessary; the Committee can be contacted through the Chair.
