Saluting the Semiconductor Geniuses

From the early geniuses that explained basic semiconductor properties to the invention of the point contact transistor; from developing a formula for predicting the future of integrated circuits to revolutionizing the industry with the invention of an integrated chip; through the development of the first field programmable gate array; FormFactor salutes the geniuses that made the semiconductor industry what it is today.

Come celebrate with us as we pay homage to the geniuses of the past and introduce you to three current-day geniuses who are forging the future of our industry:

• • • Omeed Momeni from the University of California Davis – Pushing CMOS-based circuitry to its theoretical limits in the 700 GHz range.
    • Jacob Rosenstein from Brown University – Redefining the interface between biological and electrical engineering.
    • Rebecca Cortez from Union College – Exploring the structure of novel materials down to the nanometer level.
