Invest in the profession: Make a nomination for the Solid-State Circuits award

“Awesome” is how young members see the pioneering breakthroughs that have given solid-state circuits the technical and economic impact it has today. How can so many engineers design million-transistor circuits with confidence and get products to market on time? What technical advances and what algorithms are almost invisibly intuitive in our thinking and software processes? How do we know where to start, where it is still too risky invest time, or what is too risky to tweak? If you can remember a decade or more ago when you dreamed about the work your team accomplishes today, you can remember the seminal ideas that allowed circuits to evolve a hundredfold. You could be a nominator for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Technical Field Award — the Institute´s highest honor for outstanding contributions in our field.
