J. J. Ebers Award
The J. J. Ebers Award was established in 1971 to foster progress in electron devices. It commemorates Jewell James Ebers, whose contributions, particularly to transistors, shaped the understanding and technology of electron devices. It is presented annually to one or more individuals who have made either a single or a series of contributions of recognized scientific, economic, or social significance in the broad field of electron devices. The recipient (or recipients) is awarded a certificate and check for $5,000, presented at the International Electron Devices Meeting. Recipients The past recipients are: 1971 John L. Moll 1972 Charles W. Mueller 1973 Herbert Kroemer 1974 Andrew S. Grove 1975 Jacques I. Pankove 1976 Marion E. Hines 1977 Anthony E. Siegman 1978 Hung C. Lin 1979 James M. Early 1980 James D.
