Herb Goronkin
Motorola Labs
|
Herb is Vice President and Director of the Physical
Research Laboratories within Motorola Labs. He received
the BA, MA and PhD in physics from Temple University.
Following research assignments in the areas of compound
semiconductors, silicon ICs, optical sensors and microwave
semiconductor devices, he joined Motorola in 1977
to build their GaAs electronics program. His lab developed
Motorola's early versions of heterostructure transistors
and circuits for low power, low noise wireless applications
and high efficiency power transistors for cellular
telephones. More recently his lab developed DNA biochips
for analysis of genetic defects and spun the effort
into a newly formed division in 1998. The lab continues
development of microfluidic chips for biological sample
preparation and analysis. The Labs are developing
molecular devices for future logic, wireless and biosensor
applications. The Labs recently transferred its world
leadership tunnel junction MRAM technology to the
Semiconductor Products Sector who continues its development
for product introduction. Meanwhile, we continue the
investigation of radical scaling of MRAM memory elements
as well as new device applications of spin dependent
structures and materials.
Herb is a Fellow of the IEEE and member of the American
Physical Society and Sigma Xi. He has served on numerous
conference committees and professional organizations.
He has over 65 patents and numerous publications.
He received Motorola's Distinguished Innovator Award
in 1992 and the Master Innovator Award in 1995. He
is a member of Motorola's Science Advisory Board Associates
and was selected as Senior Engineer of the Year in
1993 by the Phoenix Section of the IEEE. Herb is a
Motorola Dan Noble Fellow.
