The Paul Rappaport Award was established in 1984 to recognize the best paper appearing in a fast turn around archival publication of the IEEE Electron Devices Society, targeted to the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. It is presented annually and the recipient(s) is awarded a certificate and a check for $2,500, presented at the IEEE EDS International Electron Devices Meeting.
