A high priority of the Electron Devices Society (EDS) is to recognize and enhance the quality of papers published in EDS archival literature. The George E. Smith Award was established in 2002 to recognize the best paper appearing in a fast turnaround archival publication of EDS, targeted to the IEEE Electron Device Letters. Among other criteria including technical excellence, an important metric for selection for the award is comprehensive and impartial referencing of prior art. The paper winning the 2022 George E. Smith Award was selected from over 506 articles that were published in 2022.
The paper is entitled, “Demonstration of Multiply-Accumulate Operation With 28 nm FeFET Crossbar Array.” This paper appeared in the December 2022 issue of the IEEE Electron Device Letters and authored by Sourav De, Franz Müller, Nellie Laleni, Maximilian Lederer, Yannick Raffel, Shaown Mojumder, Alptekin Vardar, Sukhrob Abdulazhanov, Tarek Ali, Stefan Dünkel, Sven Beyer, Konrad Seidel, and Thomas Kämpfe.
The award will be presented during the IEEE EDS International Electron Devices Meeting to be held in December 2023. In addition to the award certificate, the authors will receive a check for US$2,500 to be shared equally among all authors. On behalf of the Electron Devices Society, I would like to congratulate the authors for this achievement.
