Transistor discovery and Microelectronics evolution
Giorgio Baccarani, IEEE Life Fellow
Professor Emeritus, University of Bologna, DEI, Viale Risorgimento 2 - 40136 Bologna, Italy

Giorgio Baccarani received his Dr. Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1967 and his Dr. degree in Physics in 1969 from the University of Bologna, Italy, where he is currently giving a course of Nanoelectronics as professor emeritus. GB has been a member of the technical staff at the Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ, and a visiting scientist at IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. He devoted his research work to various aspects of Microelectronics, including processing technology, device physics and characterization, current transport in semiconductor materials and devices, MOSFET scaling properties, optimization and design of submicron devices, and numerical analysis of semiconductor devices. He had coordination and technical responsibility in about ten European projects. His more recent interests included quantum transport in multigate and nanowire FETs and transport properties of carbon nanotube and graphene nanoribbon FETs. He has authored or coauthored about 400 papers and conference presentations, and his activity has generated extensive collaborations with national and European Industries, and with research Institutions in Italy and abroad. He has been Director of the Research Center for Electronic Systems (ARCES) at the University of Bologna, Chairman of the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems of CNR and of the ESSDERC/ESSCIRC steering committee. Also, he has been serving as an editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, a member of the technology council of ST-Microelectronics and of the scientific advisory board of the Institute of Microelectronics in Singapore. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and received the Cledo Brunetti award in year 2013.
