World-Renowned Physicist To Help Lead Global University-Research Consortium for Semiconductor Industry
May 01, 2006

Industry Veteran Strengthens SRC's Lead in Globalization of Innovation
    RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 1 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/
-- Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), the world's
leading university-research consortium for semiconductors
and related technologies, today named well-known physicist
Dr. Steven Hillenius as vice president for the consortium's
community of 23 companies and partners and 100 universities
worldwide. His patents cover techniques that are used in
virtually every integrated circuit manufactured today.

    "This is a great time to be an innovator and the
perfect time to help guide SRC. Companies, governments and
universities across the planet are stepping up their
efforts to collaborate," Dr. Hillenius said of his new
position. "Researchers who have the courage to pursue
their ideas are in high demand. I'm very impressed with SRC
and its opportunity to help direct some of the world's best
tech talent for the benefit of humankind."

    For more than 20 years, Dr. Hillenius has been a global
leader in research and patent success for high-performance
semiconductor structures and devices. Prior to joining SRC,
Dr. Hillenius headed influential technology development and
collaborative interactions for Agere Systems and Bell
Laboratories. He managed partnerships and joint development
programs with major industry players that included NEC, ST
Microelectronics, TSMC and Chartered Semiconductor. 

    "Dr. Hillenius is a major-league researcher whom
the industry is lucky to have join SRC's senior management
team," said Larry Sumney, CEO and president of SRC.
"His perspectives and accomplishments distinguish him
at the top of the field of semiconductor research and
that's the kind of resource that the industry and
governments expect from their investments in SRC."

    As the technological demands of the semiconductor
industry have rapidly advanced during the past 30 years,
Dr. Hillenius has led several key developments in the
field. His team at Bell Laboratories was the first in the
industry to produce 60nm transistors, conducted much of the
early materials innovation on high-k gate dielectrics and
demonstrated novel three-dimensional device structures. 

    His awards include the 2005 Agere Innovation Award,
given to the Agere inventor of the most commercially
significant patent -- Planar Isolation Technique for
Integrated Circuits, which allows transistors to be packed
more closely and significantly increases their density on
an integrated circuit.  Dr. Hillenius also received the
AT&T Patent Recognition Award in 1992, similarly
presented for that year's most commercially significant
patent - CMOS Integrated Circuit Technology Utilizing Slow
and Fast Diffusing Donor Ions to Form the N-Well, which
improves the electrical isolation within semiconductors to
allow lower power consumption. He holds eight patents that
resulted from his device and process research and has
published more than 60 technical papers. 

    Dr. Hillenius has served in leadership roles in several
professional, research and industrial standards
organizations. He is a past president of the IEEE Electron
Devices Society and a current board member of the IEEE. He
was an organizer and contributor to the International
Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors for several years. He
was elected an IEEE Fellow in 1996. He has been involved
with SRC as a university liaison, participating member of
its science advisory groups, technical advisory board and
board of directors. 

    "Dr. Hillenius' record of guidance and support to
SRC and its members, in a variety of advisory roles,
reflects the kind of commitment to the industry that has
helped to make SRC into an indispensable resource for the
advancement of semiconductor technology," said Hans
Stork, chairman of the SRC Board of Directors and chief
technology officer for Texas Instruments. "His new
role on the senior management team will serve to further
the influence and pace of the SRC in benefiting the global
chip industry."

    Dr. Hillenius received his B.S. in Physics from the
University of Delaware in 1973 and his Ph.D. in Physics
from the University of Virginia in 1979.

    The naming of Dr. Hillenius to replace Dr. Ralph Cavin,
who is retiring from the SRC leadership team at the end of
this year, comes at a point of growing momentum for the
consortium. Last month, SRC announced Applied Materials as
its newest member. Several other strategic members of the
semiconductor community are in discussion about joining
SRC.

    About the SRC

    As the pioneer of collaborative research for the
semiconductor industry, SRC's goal is to define common
industry needs, invest in and manage the research that
would expand the industry knowledge base and attract
premier students to help innovate and transfer
semiconductor technology to the commercial industry.
Established in 1982, SRC is based in Research Triangle
Park, NC, and drives long-term semiconductor research
contracts on behalf of its participating members: Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc., Applied Materials, Inc., Axcelis
Technologies, Inc., Cadence Design Systems, Freescale
Semiconductor, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., Intel
Corp., LSI Logic Corp., Mentor Graphics Corp., The Mitre
Corp., Novellus Systems, Inc., Rohm and Haas Electronic
Materials and Texas Instruments Corp. Strategic partners
are SEMATECH, Semiconductor Equipment and Materials
International and Semiconductor Industry Association. SRC
also seeks to leverage funding from global government
agencies. For more information, visit http://www.src.org .
