Jeffrey Bokor

Last updated

Jeffrey Bokor is an American electrical engineer.

Bokor earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1975 and completed a doctorate in the same field at Stanford University in 1980. He then worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories until joining the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley in 1993. [1] [2] At Berkeley, Bokor was the National Semiconductor Distinguished Professor of Engineering, [3] and accepted a later appointment as Paul R. Gray Distinguished Professor of Engineering. [1] [2] Bokor is also affiliated with the Materials Science Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a senior scientist. [4]

Bokor was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1998, which recognized him "[f]or contributions to laser science, including short-wavelength lasers and non-linear optics, development of time-resolved, two-photon photoemission, and contributions to extreme ultraviolet lithography and sub-micron MOSFET device development." [5] The IEEE awarded him an equivalent honor in 2000, acknowledging Bokor "[f]or contributions to EUV optical lithography and deep-submicron MOSFETs." [6] [7]

A fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) is a multigate device, a MOSFET built on a substrate where the gate is placed on two, three, or four sides of the channel or wrapped around the channel, forming a double or even multi gate structure. These devices have been given the generic name "FinFETs" because the source/drain region forms fins on the silicon surface. The FinFET devices have significantly faster switching times and higher current density than planar CMOS technology.
