Extractions: Leo Esaki was born in Osaka, Japan in 1925. Esaki completed work for a B.S. in Physics in 1947 and received his Ph.D in 1959, both from the University of Tokyo . Esaki is an IBM Fellow and has been engaged in semiconductor research at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York, since 1960. Prior to joining IBM, he worked at the Sony Corp. where his research on heavily-doped Ge and Si resulted in the discovery of the Esaki tunnel diode; this device constitutes the first quantum electron device. Since 1969, Esaki has, with his colleagues, pioneered "designed semiconductor quantum structures" such as man-made superlattices, exploring a new quantum regime in the frontier of semiconductor physics.

Extractions: original name ESAKI REIONA (b. March 12, 1925, O saka, Japan), Japanese solid-state physicist and researcher in superconductivity who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1973 with Ivar Giaever and Brian Josephson Esaki was a 1947 graduate in physics from Tokyo University and immediately joined the Kobe Kogyo company. In 1956 he became chief physicist of the Sony Corporation, where he conducted the experimentation that led to the Nobel Prize. In 1959 he received his Ph.D. from Tokyo University. Esaki's work at Sony was in the field of quantum mechanics and concentrated on the phenomenon of tunneling, in which the wavelike character of matter enables electrons to pass through barriers that the laws of classical mechanics say are impenetrable. He devised ways to modify the behaviour of solid-state semiconductors by adding impurities, or "doping" them. This work led to his invention of the double diode, which became known as the Esaki diode. It also opened new possibilities for solid-state developments that his co-recipients of the 1973 prize exploited separately. In 1960 Esaki was awarded an IBM (International Business Machines) fellowship for further research in the United States, and he subsequently joined IBM's research laboratories in Yorktown, N.Y. He retained his Japanese citizenship.

Extractions: Leo Esaki was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973 for his discovery of tunneling in semiconductors. Tunneling is a quantum mechanical effect in which an electron passes through a potential barrier even though classical theory predicted that it could not. Dr. Esaki's discovery led to the creation of the Esaki diode, an important component of solid state physics with practical applications in high-speed circuits found in computers and communications networks. Dr. Esaki shared the 1973 Nobel Prize with physicists Ivar Giaever of Norway and Brian D. Josephson of Great Britain.

Extractions: Robert Bower Robert Bower's invention, one of 24 he has patented, is officially called the "Field-Effect Device with Insulated Gate," known as the "Self-Aligned Gate MOSFET." Patented in 1969, the device provided semiconductors with the speed they needed to serve in modern microelectronic applications. Bower developed it while working at the Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California. Robert Bower Robert Bower was elected in 1997 as a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame for the invention of the self aligned-gate MOSFET.

Extractions: Esaki, Leo Japanese physicist who in 1957 noticed that electrons could sometimes 'tunnel' through the barrier formed at the junctions of certain semiconductors. The effect is now widely used in the electronics industry. For this early discovery Esaki shared the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physics with British physicist Brian Josephson and Norwegian-born US physicist Ivar Giaever Tunnelling is a quantum-mechanical effect whereby electrons can travel through electrostatic potentials that they would be unable to overcome classically. Esaki was able to use this effect for switching and to build ultrasmall and ultrafast tunnel diodes, now called Esaki diodes. He continued to research the nonlinear transport and optical properties of semiconductors, in particular multilayer superlattice structures grown by molecular-beam epitaxy techniques.

Extractions: Leo Esaki was born on 12 March 1925 in Osaka, Japan. He is one of only three Japanese physicists ever to receive the Nobel Prize. Interestingly enough, all three attended the Third High School (equivalent to the present junior college) in Kyoto, which may be no more than just coincidence or proof of the importance of an educational environment in developing scientific talent. Esaki went on to major in physics at the University of Tokyo because he wanted to understand nature in a most fundamental way, but credits the war-time psychology as also having an effect on him, especially after the war. It was then that he decided to go into industrial research, in order to participate more effectively in the process of rebuilding war-torn Japan. He joined Sony Corporation, and it was there in 1957 that he discovered the tunnel diode, the first quantum electron device, for which he received a Ph.D. in physics and, later, the 1973 Nobel Prize in physics.
