Biographical Notes

Theodore (Ted) I. Kamins received B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. He joined the Research and Development Laboratory of Fairchild Semiconductor circa 1969 where he performed early work contributing to the understanding of the field of polycrystalline silicon and to device applications of epitaxial silicon. He was also involved in the transfer of the Philips CMOS process from Holland to Fairchild. Kamins moved to Hewlett-Packard 1974 where he worked in a number of materials and device-related areas, beginning with the development of UV-sensitive photodiodes. He then contributed to the emerging areas of silicon-on-insulator and rapid thermal processing. Subsequent work dealt with advanced epitaxy and device technology for the silicon-germanium, heterojunction bipolar transistor, which is currently widely used for wireless communications. He was a Principal Scientist in the Information and Quantum Systems Laboratory at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California, where he was focusing on advanced nanostructured electronic materials and devices. Kamins has also been an acting assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He has taught at Stanford University and been an adjunct professor at Santa Clara University.
