LETTER FROM THE IEEE PRESIDENT AND AWARDS BOARD CHAIR

Dear IEEE Members, Honorees, Colleagues, and Friends:

Welcome to the 2020 IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit & Honors Ceremony!

On behalf of IEEE’s Board of Directors, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our generous awards sponsors and to all of the nominators, endorsers, volunteers, and professional staff for their dedication to making our Awards Program, along with the annual IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit, such a success.

Most importantly, we would like to acknowledge all of this year’s well-quali ed nominees—the diverse array of engineers, scientists, technologists, and practitioners who exemplify the mission of the IEEE of advancing technology for the bene t of humanity.

There are amazing technological innovations and cutting-edge engineering research happening across the spectrum of technology today, some of which was discussed and explored at today’s summit. Much of the work being done was made possible by the achievements of those we are recognizing this evening. Tonight’s award ceremony is a celebration of the contributions of some of the greatest minds of our time who have made a lasting impact on society.

Thank you all for joining us as we acclaim those visionaries, leaders, and legends—our members and colleagues whose achievements have shaped our lives. May they serve as an inspiration to the next generation of disrupters whose future innovations will continue to move technology forward across the spectrum of elds of interest.

Toshio Fukuda, Richard V. Cox, 2020 IEEE President and CEO IEEE Awards Board Chair

BY TEKLA S. PERRY

It was 1995. Advances in chip technology continued apace with Moore’s Law, the observation that the num- ber of transistors on a chip doubles roughly every two years, generally because of the shrinking size of those transistors. But the horizon no longer seemed limitless. Indeed, for the rst time, murmurs throughout the semiconduc- tor industry predicted the death of Moore’s Law. The golden days would be coming to an end, the predictions went, when the size of a critical transistor feature, then around 350 nanometers, reached below 100 nm. Even the U.S. government was worried—so worried that DARPA raised an alarm, launching a program seeking new chip technologies that could extend progress. Chenming Hu, then a professor of electrical engineer- ing and computer science at the University of Califor- nia, Berkeley, jumped at the challenge. He immediately thought of a solution—actually, two solutions—and, on a plane ride a few days later, sketched out those designs. One of those ideas, raising the channel through which current  ows so that it sticks out above the surface of the chip, became the FinFET, a technology that earned Hu this year’s IEEE Medal of Honor “for a distinguished ca- reer of developing and putting into practice semiconduc- tor models, particularly 3-D device structures, that have helped keep Moore’s Law going over many decades.” The story of the FinFET didn’t begin with Hu put- ting pencil to paper on an airline tray table, of course. It started in Taiwan, where Hu was a curious child, conducting stovetop experiments on seawater and dis- mantling—and reassembling—alarm clocks. As he ap- proached the end of high school, he was still interested in science, mostly chemistry. But instead of targeting a chemistry degree, he applied for the electrical engineer- ing program at the National Taiwan University, even though he didn’t really know what an EE actually did. It was simply a challenge—the electrical engineering pro- gram required the highest test scores to get in. During his last year of college, Hu discovered the in- PHOTOGRAPHY BY PETER ADAMS dustry he would later shake up, thanks to Frank Fang, then a visiting professor from the United States.
