Errata to the Nobel Prize Article that Appeared in the April 2001 Issue
Unfortunately, there was an error made in the April 2001 issue of the EDS Newsletter regarding the article entitled IEEE Members Who Received the Nobel Prize for Physics. In the write-up concerning one of the winners of the award, Zhores I. Alferov, a very vital portion of his accomplishments was inadvertently omitted, i.e. his work involving the first cw room temperature operation of a double heterojunction laser. The author of this portion of the article, Nick Holonyak, had submitted this pertinent information, but an error was made in transcribing the text from its original source. The affected portion of the write-up concerning Zhores I. Alferov's accomplishments should have read as follows: After the semiconductor laser work of 1962, Alferov and his research group launched a large effort to realize double heterojunction devices (for superinjection and carrier and photon confinement). He was able, with the AlGaAs-GaAs system, to demonstrate the first low threshold double heterostructure lasers (1968), cw operation at room temperature (1970), high-efficiency heterojunction solar cells (1970), heterojunction p-n-p-n switches (1969), laser p-n-p-n switches (1971), high-efficiency AlGaAs heterostructure LEDs (1968), wide-gap emitter AlGaAs transistors (1972), and grating lasers with narrow beam divergence (1974). He is credited with being one of the prime instigators of the new field of heterostructure electronics, which now includes quantum well heterostructures and superlattices. His most recent work has been concerned with trying to convert the quantum-well laser with quantum-dot laser.

Zhores Alferov, is director of the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Herbert Kroemer is a professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Their work in the 1950s and 60s, on the design of heterostructures, led to semiconductor lasers that could operate continuously at room temperature and were the precursor of the lasers now used in CD players, bar code readers, and optical fiber data transmission networks, as well as to high speed transistors now used in wireless communications. return to contents

Alan MacDiarmid The invention of the transistor, integrated circuit, and semiconductor heterostructures spawned a technological revolution that has culminated in the Information Age. Without these technologies, computers and the Internet wouldn't exist. Recognizing the discoveries that ushered in this hi-tech era, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics to Jack S. Kilby of Texas Instruments for the invention of the integrated circuit; and Zhores I. Alferov (see SPIE Member Zhores Alferov awarded Nobel Prize, SPIE Scene ), director of the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute, and Herbert Kroemer, Univ. of California/Santa Barbara, for the semiconductor heterostructure, which is important in microelectronics (heterojunction bipolar transistor, high electron mobility transistor) and for laser diodes and LEDs. These developments spawned the new field of optoelectronics, the merger of optics and electronics in a hybrid manner. "We do have integration on the circuit board level," said SPIE Technical Director Jit Rai-Choudhury. "Though theoretically possible on an integrated circuit chip, it is not as cost-effective to fabricate III-V compounds alongside silicon, though there is promise with the development of conducting polymers."

Conceden a pioneros de las tecnologías de información el Nóbel de Física 2000
Los galardonados, dos estadounidenses y un ruso
ESTOCOLMO, 10 de octubre (France Presse y AP).— La Real Academia Sueca de Ciencias dio a conocer hoy que otorgó al ruso Zhores I. Alferov y los estadounidenses Herbert Kroemer y Jack Kilby, pioneros de las nuevas tecnologías de la información, el Premio Nóbel de Física 2000.
La mitad del premio fue atribuida a Alferov y Kroemer y la otra mitad, a Kilby. La Academia explicó que decidió otorgar el Nóbel a estos “científicos cuyos trabajos sentaron las bases de las nuevas tecnologías de la información, en particular mediante sus invenciones de los transistores rápidos, de los diodos láser y de los circuitos integrados”.
El ruso Zhores Alferov, nacido en 1930, que dirige el Instituto de Física y Técnica de San Petersburgo, y Herbert Kromer, nacido en 1928 en Alemania y que trabaja en la Universidad de California, en Santa Bárbara, fueron distinguidos por “el desarrollo de heteroestructuras semiconductoras para la electrónica rápida y la optoelectrónica”.
Los dos científicos desarrollaron los transistores rápidos utilizados en los satélites de telecomunicaciones y en las estaciones de base de los teléfonos móviles.

Jack S. Kilby, Zhores Ivanovich Alferov and Herbert Kroemer each hold U.S. patents for the work for which they were honored with the 2000 Nobel Prize for Physics. Jack S. Kilby, received patents for his work minituarizing integrated circuits (patents #3,138,743 and #4,042,948). Zhores Ivanovich Alferov is a co-inventor on patent #3,958,265 for the semiconductor light-emitting diode, and Herbert Kroemer is a co-inventor on two patentspatent #3,309,553 covering semiconductor solid state radiation emitters and patent #5,013,683, for a method of growing tilted super lattices. The work covered in these patents helped to lay the groundwork for the increasingly faster speed and smaller size of today's information technology, and is the basis for their Nobel Prize. In 1982, Kilby was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for his work relating to patent #3,138,743. Kilby's, Alferov's and Kroemer's patents, as well as all patents issued since the first one in 1790, can be viewed on USPTO's web site

Zhores Alferov Jack Kilby Herbert Kroemer The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics to Zhores Alferov, director of the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia; Herbert Kroemer of the University of California, Santa Barbara; and Jack Kilby, now retired from Texas Instruments Inc (TI) in Dallas, Texas, "for basic work on information and communication technology." Alferov and Kroemer will share half of the SKr 9 million (about $900 000) prize "for developing semiconductor heterostructures used in high-speed and opto-electronics." Kilby is to receive the other half "for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit." The twin pillars of today's electronic society are computers and communication systems. Both have grown very rapidly over the past decade, as attested by the increased role of the Internet and the World Wide Web in both business and private life. In acknowledging the impact of these technologies, the Nobel committee singled out two inventions that have been driving this development: the integrated circuit (IC) and semiconductor heterostructures.
