Professor Herbert Kroemer 2000 Nobel Physics Laureate ECE Department and Materials Department Room 4107 Engineering I University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9560 (805) 893-3078 (Voice) and -8714 (Fax) kroemer@ece.ucsb.edu Professor Kroemer received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics in 1952 from the University of Göttingen, Germany, with a dissertation on hot-electron effects in the then-new transistor, setting the stage for a career in research on the physics and technology of semiconductors and semiconductor devices. Following work in a number of research laboratories in Germany and the USA, Kroemer persuaded the ECE Department at UCSB in 1976 to put the limited resources it had available for expanding their small semiconductor research program, not into mainstream silicon technology, but into the emerging compound semiconductor technology. In this field, Kroemer saw an opportunity for UCSB to become one of the leading institutions. He himself became the first member of the group, thus founding what has grown into a large group that is second to none in the physics and technology of compound semiconductors and devices based on them. In his research. Prof. Kroemer has always preferred to work on problems that are one or two generation ahead of established mainstream technology. In the mid-`50-s, he was the first to point out that great performance advantages could be gained in various semiconductor devices (initially bipolar transistors) by incorporating what is now called

I was born on August 25, 1928 in Weimar, Germany. My father was a civil servant working for the city administration of my home town; my mother was a classical German "Hausfrau." Both came from simple skilled-craftsmen families. Neither had a high-school education, but there was never any doubt that they wanted to have their children obtain the best education they could afford. My mother, in particular, pushed relentlessly for top performance in school: simply doing well was not enough. Fortunately, I breezed through 12 years of school almost effortlessly, not once requiring help with homework from my parents. Despite their insistence on excellence, my parents never pushed me in any particular academic direction; I was completely free to follow my inclinations, which ran towards math, physics, and chemistry. When I finally told my parents that I wanted to study physics, my father merely wondered what that is, and whether I could make a living with it. I certainly could become a physics teacher at a High School, or "Gymnasium," a thoroughly respectable profession. I did have one major problem in school, though: Discipline! I was often bored, and entertained myself in various disruptive ways. A frequent punishment was an entry into the "Klassenbuch," the daily class ledger. These entries were considered a very serious matter, and if I had not been excellent academically, I would have risked being expelled. Once, after I had again been entered as having disturbed the class, the teacher who had overall responsibility for the class - Dr. Edith Richter, whom I adored - asked me in great exasperation: "Why again?" I told her that I had been bored, whereupon she exploded: "Mr. Kroemer, one of the purposes of a higher education is that you learn to be bored gracefully." I will never forget that outburst - nor have I ever really learned to be bored gracefully.

NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS October 10, 2000 Margaret Warner talks to Nobel Prize winners Herbert Kroemer of the University of California, and Alan MacDiarmid of the University of Pennsylvania. MARGARET WARNER: The six scientists who shared the Nobel Prizes is physics and chemistry today were honored for work that has practical application in consumers' everyday lives. Professor Herbert Kroemer, the University of California at Santa Barbara, was one of three men sharing the physics prize for improving the information technology that makes calculators, CD players and cell phones possible. Professor Allen MacDiarmid of the University of Pennsylvania was one of three men sharing the chemistry prize for discovering that plastic can be made to conduct electricity. The discovery has generated major new developments in a range of products, including film, televisions and computer screens. Welcome to you both. And congratulations. Professor Kroemer, how did you hear the news, and what was your first reaction?

Royal Swedish Academy Cites Kroemer for Developing Semiconductor Heterostructures Contact: Jacquelyn Savani The 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics honors three men "for basic work on information and communication technology." The Royal Swedish Academy said the Prize "recognizes information and communication technology as the major force in the transition from an industrial society to an information and knowledge based society." The Prize was awarded for "two major physical inventions": to Jack S. Kilby "for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit" and to Zhores I. Alferov and UCSB's Herbert Kroemer "for developing semiconductor heterostructures used in high-speed and opto-electronics." "What is a semiconductor heterostructure?" Kroemer was asked on the nightly Newshour With Jim Lehrer. This is, unfortunately, not a question for an impromptu response that can be understood by a public television audience. One way to answer the question is to look at the development of Kroemer's thought on semiconductor heterostructures. Kroemer finished studies for his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Gšttingen in 1952 and went to work as the "house theorist" in the semiconductor research group of the telecommunications laboratory of the German Postal Service. There, as long as he gave a weekly two-hour lecture, he could pretty much pursue the questions that interested him.

The work by winners Alan J. Heeger , Alan G. MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa has spurred improvements in film, TV screens and windows and could eventually lead to a host of new technologies, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. ``The physics prizes are about the electronics of today and the chemistry prizes are about the electronics of the future,'' academy member Per Ahlberg said. In physics, Zhores I. Alferov of the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Herbert Kroemer , a German-born researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara , will share half the prize for work in developing technology used in satellite communications and cellular phones.

Previous News for October 2000 Next Nobel prize goes to semiconductor pioneers 9 October 2000 Kroemer and Alferov share the prize for their work on semiconductor heterostructures - devices that contain thin layers of different semiconductors, usually based on gallium arsenide, stacked on top of each other. In 1957 Kroemer, then working at the RCA company in Princeton, published the first proposal for a heterostructure transistor. His theoretical work showed that heterostructure devices could offer superior performance compared with conventional transistors. In 1963 Kroemer and Alferov independently proposed ideas to build semiconductor lasers from heterostructure devices. Alferov built the first semiconductor laser from gallium arsenide and aluminium arsenide in 1969. Semiconductor lasers are now used in a vast number of applications. After the transistor had been invented, it was still necessary to solder the different parts of electronic circuits together. In the early 1950s, along with the late Robert Noyce, who died in 1990, Jack Kilby was the first person to realize that the different components in a circuit could be integrated on a single piece of silicon. Kilby's work has underpinned the entire information technology industry. Kilby also co-invented the pocket calculator.
