Dr. Chenming Hu is the TSMC Distinguished Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley. He joined the Berkeley faculty in 1976. From 2001 to 2004 he was the CTO of TSMC. He was the founding chairman of Celestry Design Technologies until its acquisition by Cadence Design Systems in 2003. He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and of Academia Sinica (Taiwan), a fellow of IEEE, a fellow of the Institute of Physics, and an honorary professor of Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, and of Chiao Tung University, Taiwan. IEEE awarded him the 2002 Solid State Circuits Award for developing BSIM, the international standard SPICE model of MOSFETs, and the 1997 Jack A. Morton Award for his contributions to transistor reliability. He is also noted for developing the FinFET transistor structure in 1998 that has since reset the record of transistor miniaturization several times and is expected to enable the scaling of transistors beyond 10nm. He also received UC Berkeley�s highest honor for teaching the Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award. Dr. Hu received his B.S. degree from the National Taiwan University and M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, all in electrical engineering.
