Nominations and nominee suggestions are sought for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award and other IEEE Technical Field Awards (TFAs). The 22 IEEE TFAs are institute wide 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 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 Kiyo Tomiyasu Award for contributions to technologies holding the promise of innovative applications during the early to mid-career of an individual or team (presented for the first time in 2002).
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 ten years.
It is 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). However, the nominee(s) cannot receive more than one TFA for the same work. 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.
