HIROSHI IWAI received the B.E. and Ph.D. degrees
in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo and worked in
the research and development of integrated circuit technology for more
than 25 years in Toshiba. He is now a professor of Frontier Collaborative
Research Center and Dept. of Electronics and Applied Physics, Interdisciplinary
Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology,
Yokohama, Japan. Since joining Toshiba, he has developed several generations
of high density static RAM's, dynamic RAM's and logic LSI's including
CMOS, bipolar, and Bi-CMOS devices. He has also been engaged in research
on device physics, process technologies, and T-CAD related to small-geometry
MOSFETs and high speed bipolar transistors. He has authored and coauthored
more than 200 papers.
He has served on many committees of conferences and editors of journals, as well as a member of many evaluation committee of public organizations. For example, the President of the IEEE EDS, an elected member of the IEEE EDS AdCom, an editor of IEEE EDS Newsletter, a guest editor of IEEE Trans. on Electron Devices, and an editor of the Proceedings of ECS Symp. on ULSI Process Integration. He is now the Jr. Past President of the IEEE EDS. He is also a consultant professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China..
His awards include Local Commendation for Invention from Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation (1990, 2005), Grand Prize of Nikkei BP Technology Awards (1994), IEEE EDS Paul Rappaport Award (1994), IEICE ES Electronics Award (1998), IEEE EDS J.J.Ebers Award (2001), and JSAP Award for the best paper (2002).
His current research interests are Nano CMOS and Emerging Technologies: High–k gate insulator, plasma doping for ultra-shallow junctions, Ni salicide, RF CMOS modeling, Ge transister, Chip Embedded and Chip Technology.
Dr. Iwai is, a fellow of IEEE, a member of Electrochemical Society, a member of the Japan Society Applied Physics, a member of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers of Japan, and a member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
