Kerry Bernstein is a Principal Engineer at Applied Research Associates. His research interests are in the areas of emerging device / circuit architectures for post-CMOS high performance computing; 3D integration; and neuromorphic computing. He formerly spent 31 years at IBM, and was a Senior Technical Staff Member at the T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Hts, NY. Mr. Bernstein received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering degree from Washington University in St.Louis.

Mr. Bernstein’s work has bridged chip technology and circuit design, exploring the technology sensitivities of high performance CMOS circuit topologies; the mitigation of delay variability in design; and the circuit responses to single-event upsets. He served as lead technologist for IBM’s POWER Server series and for IBM’s PowerPC microprocessor family. He also supervised technology application for IBM’s highest performance external foundry customers. Mr. Bernstein had the privilege of participating in the teams developing and introducing fundamental device and interconnect technologies to our industry throughout his career, including NMOS, CMOS, Partially-Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator devices, and copper/Low-K interconnects.

He co-authored 2 college textbooks with colleague and friend Norman Rohrer, and approximately 100 papers or book chapters on high speed / low power CMOS. He attributes any success he has enjoyed to be due in large part to working with wonderful, talented people. Mr. Bernstein has served on the program committees for IEEE ISSCC and Symposium on VLSI Design. He derives fulfillment as an industrial mentor for students and research at SEMATECH, SRC/MARCO, DARPA, and for high schoolers interested in math/science/engineering careers. Mr. Bernstein is a staff instructor on Computational Neuroscience at RUNN/Marine Biological Laboratories, Woods Hole, MA, and an operations officer in the HQ Battalion of the Vermont State Guard. He and his family live in Northern Vermont. Mr. Bernstein is an IEEE Fellow.

John J. Corcoran received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Iowa in 1968, and the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1970. From 1969 to 1999 he was with Hewlett-Packard Company, first at Santa Clara Instrument Division, then at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, CA. His work at HP focused on integrated circuit design in bipolar, CMOS, BiCMOS, CCD, GaAs MESFET and GaAs HBT technologies. Since 2000 he has been manager of the Mixed-Signal Electronics Department at Agilent Laboratories, which develops high performance integrated circuits for test instrumentation.

Mr. Corcoran has published numerous papers on high-speed A/D conversion and A/D testing, and was co-author of the paper "A 1-GHz 6-bit ADC System" which received the Best Paper Award from the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits for 1987-1988. He received the Best Evening Panel Award from the 1988 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) and the Beatrice Winner Award for Editorial Excellence from ISSCC in 1992. He has served as Guest Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, and from 1994 to 1997 was Secretary to the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council. He has also served on the Technical Program Committee of ISSCC, and on the Advisory Committee of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. In 2001 he was named a Fellow of the IEEE for contributions to high-performance analog-to-digital converters.

Hae-Seung (Harry) Lee received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1984, where he developed the first self-calibration technique for A/D converters. Since 1984, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, where he is now Professor and the Director of Center for Integrated Circuits and Systems. His research interests are in the areas of analog integrated circuits with the emphasis on analog-to-digital converters in scaled CMOS technologies.

From 1985 to 1999, he acted as Consultant to Analog Devices. In 1999, he co-founded SMaL Camera Technology, Cambridge, MA. Since 2005, he has been on Technology Advisory Committee for Samsung Electronics, and on Technology Advisory Board for Cypress Semiconductor. Prof. Lee is a recipient of the 1988 Presidential Young Investigators' Award from President Ronald Reagan, and a co-recipient of 2002 ISSCC Jack Kilby Award for Outstanding Student Paper. He was also listed in ISSCC 50-Year Anniversary Author Honor Roll as one of the top 50 contributors of technical papers at ISSCC between 1954 and 2003.

He has served a number of technical program committees for various IEEE conferences, including the International Electron Devices Meeting, the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference, and the IEEE Symposium on VLSI Circuits. From 1992 to 1994, he was an associate editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. Prof. Lee authored or co-authored more than 100 journal and conference papers. Prof. Lee is a Fellow of IEEE for contributions to CMOS high accuracy data converters.

Prof. William Redman-White has been with NXP Semiconductors (and its precursor, Philips Semiconductors) since 1990 as a Fellow, specialising in analog and RF design. He is currently based in Southampton, U.K, but has also worked for Philips in San Jose, CA, from 2001-2003 and in Caen, France in 1999. Within NXP/Philips he has worked on a wide range of projects and products, covering optical storage, WLAN, WiMax, Bluetooth, CDMA and GSM cellular, digital audio, analog and digital TV, satellite TV baseband, high-speed serial data links and wireless car security. He was previously with Motorola, Geneva working on telecom, with GEC-Marconi Research London working on aerospace ICs, and Post Office Telecommunications, London working on digital line communications.

Concurrent with his industrial activities, he has also held an academic position in Southampton University, U.K. He joined the faculty in 1983, becoming full Professor in 1998, and undertakes research and teaching centred mainly on analog and RF design. His circuit research has covered RF, continuous and sampled techniques and he has published early work on digital calibration of analog filters for communications and noise shaping. As well as design in mainstream CMOS, his group has undertaken work on small signal characterisation, compact modelling and special circuit techniques for the realisation of analog circuits in silicon on insulator CMOS. Device studies and circuit insights also guided the development of the SUSOS and STAG compact models for SOI; based on surface potential and including self-heating and floating body effects these tools were specifically aimed at the analog designer. Prof. Redman-White has published about 120 papers in IEEE journals and conferences. He has around 15 patents currently active with several pending, and a few of these are actually useful. He served as associate editor for the JSSC from 1996 to 2002 and as guest editor in 1995. He is been active in the ISSCC for many years, and is currently Analog Sub-Committee chair. He has twice been Technical Programme Chair of the European Solid State Circuits Conference (1997 and 2008), and is a member of the steering committee for the European Solid State Circuits and Devices Conference series (ESSCIRC/ESSDERC).

Working with and associating with so many clever and pleasant people over the years in Philips and GEC Research labs, and at conferences, has been very inspirational but at the same time slightly depressing, as they all seem somewhat unreasonably clever. However, during a recent ISSCC he did receive the compliment that he might make a good game show host.

During her career at Bell Laboratories, she led the design of several mixed signal IC designs for telecommunications applications and RF IC designs for mobile phones. In 1997, Ms. Stetzler joined Texas Instruments (TI) Incorporated as a Senior Member of the Technical Staff. Her responsibilities at TI initially involved investigating new markets for TI DSP devices. Since 1999, her work has focused on digital broadcast radio standards and development of TI’s digital radio solutions. She is presently a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Texas Instruments.
