孫元成博士

Dr. Jack Sun is an IEEE Life Fellow.  He received his PhD degree from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.  He devoted his career to the advancement of semiconductor technology with outstanding contributions to the semiconductor industry globally and in Taiwan.  He held technical and management positions with pioneering work on deep-sub-micron n+/p+-poly CMOS, cryo-CMOS, Bipolar, SiGe HBT, and BiCMOS at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center from 1983 to 1997.  Prior to his latest endeavor as a SVP of NYCU and leading the new school at NYCU for semiconductor and AI systems talent development and research, Dr. Sun served as VP of R&D and CTO at TSMC before retiring in 2018.  He and coworkers helped establish TSMC as the foundry technology leader with energy efficient CMOS, RF-CMOS, and 3Dx3D system scaling for smartphones, WIFI, mobile computing, GPU, FPGA, AI, HPC,.., and enabled the innovation and growth of fabless design and product companies that transformed the semiconductor industry.

Dr. Sun received many awards, including J.J. Ebers Award in 2015 (the top award from IEEE Electron Devices Society), TSMC Medal of Honor Award, National Taiwan University Distinguished Alumni Award, ECE Distinguished Alumni Award from University of Illinois, National Management Excellence Award (ROC, 2004), Outstanding Technology Worker Award (ROC, 2003), Ten Most Outstanding Engineer Award of the Chinese Institute of Engineers (2000), and two IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Awards (0.25um CMOS; 0.5um CMOS).  He was a plenary keynote speaker for 2017 IEDM, 2014 A-SSCC, and 2013 VLSI Technology Symposium, besides many invited talks, over 200 journal/conference papers, and 18 US patents. He is an independent board director of eMemory company. He had served as a Board Director for SRC, Sematech, and National Research Labs (NARL, Taiwan), and Acer Cyber Security Company (ACSI); and as VLSI Technology Symposia / JSAP Executive Committe member, IEEE VLSI-TSA Advisory Committee member, IEEE A-SSCC Steering Committee member and Conference Chair.
