Shuji Ikeda (M’91-SM’02-F’04) received the B.S. degree in Physics, PhD. in Electrical Engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan in 1978 and 2003 respectively and the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, USA in 1987. He joined Semiconductor and Integrated Circuit Group, Hitachi ltd., Tokyo, Japan in 1978, where he was engaged in research and development of state of the art SRAM process and devices. He was also working on developing process technology for LOGIC, embedded memories, and CMOS power RF devices and on transferring technology to mass production line. He invented some of the outstanding structures for SRAM. He pioneered process to implement new materials in mass production, including W-polycide, Al-Cu-Si in 1984 and in-situ phosphorus-doped-polysilicon in 1990. He is the first to realize Lightly Doped Drain (LDD) in production to suppress Hot Carrier Injection in 1984. He also firstly implemented polyimide coat of the chip to immune SER caused by alpha particle from the resin covers the chip. In October 2000, he joined Trecenti Technologies Inc. He developed new process scheme with aggressive reduction of process time and suitable for single-wafer processing. That achieved less than 0.25days/layer cycle time. In April 2005, he joined ATDF at Austin Texas, as a Director of Technology. Where he develops various kinds of technologies includes scaled CMOS, non-classical CMOS, new materials and tools. He established tei Technology LLC in May 2008, Omni Water Solutions LLC, in 2009 at Austin Texas. He started tei Solutions Inc in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan in 2010, where, he manages R&D foundry developing new devices, process technologies for VLSIs. He also integrates emerging technology onto semiconductor manufacturing technology to create innovative products/businesses. Due to his contributions to 200 MHz RISC microprocessor, he got 1999 R&D 100 Award. He served as subcommittee and executive committee member of IEDM from 1993 to 2002. He introduced Manufacturing Session in 1998 and chaired IEDM in 2002. He was a member of EDS Administrative Committee from 2005 to 2010. He was a technical program member for VLSI Technology Symposium in 2007 and 2008. He serves as a chairman of VLSI committee of EDS from 2009 and AdHoc Committee on Asia EDS Conference from 2014.

Dr. Yang Chai received his PhD degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2009. After he conducted his Postdoctoral studies at Stanford University and University of Illinois at Urbana & Champaign, he joined the Department of Applied Physics in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2012. He is a recipient of RGC Early Career Award in 2014, and the Semiconductor Science and Technology Early Career Research Award in 2017. His current research interest includes low-dimensional material for electron devices.
