About the Authors


Ben G. Streetman is Dean of the College of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin and holds the Dula D. Cockrell Centennial Chair in Engineering. He is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and was the founding Director of the Microelectronics Research Center (1984–96). His teaching and research interests involve semiconductor materials and devices. After receiving a Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin (1966) he was on the faculty (1966—1982) of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He returned to The University of Texas at Austin in 1982. His honors include the Education Medal of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Frederick Emmons Terman Medal of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and the Heinrich Welker Medal from the International Conference on Compound Semiconductors. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Electrochemical Society. He has been honored as a Distinguished Alumnus of The University of Texas at Austin and as a Distinguished Graduate of the UT College of Engineering. He has received the General Dynamics Award for Excellence in Engineering Teaching, and was honored by the Parents’ Association as a Teaching Fellow for outstanding teaching of undergraduates. He has served on numerous panels and committees in industry and government, and several corporate boards. He has published more than 270 articles in the technical literature. Thirty-three students of Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, and Physics have received their Ph.D.s under his direction.

Sanjay Kumar Banerjee is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Director of the Microelectronics Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin, where he currently holds the Cullen Trust Endowed Professorship in Engineering No. 1 as well as being a Fellow of the Cockrell Family Regent’s Chair. His research interests include silicon-based heterostructure devices, device modeling and ultra-large-scale IC technology. He received his B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1979, 1981 and 1983, respectively, all in electrical engineering. At Texas Instruments from 1983–1987, he worked on polysilicon transistors and dynamic random access memory cells used in the world’s first 4Megabit DRAM, for which he was the co-recipient of the Best Paper Award at the 1986 IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference. His honors include the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award (1988), Engineering Foundation Advisory Council Halliburton Award (1991) for teaching excellence, and the Texas Atomic Energy Centennial Fellowship (1990–1997). He has more than 225 archival referred publications, has presented over 200 talks at conferences, and has 12 U.S. patents. He has supervised 18 Ph.D. and 35 MS students. He is a Distinguished National Lecturer for the IEEE Electron Devices Society (1997–), and Fellow of the IEEE (1996).
