J J Ebers Award
Encyclopedia
The J J Ebers Award was established in 1971 with the intention to foster progress in electron devices and to commemorate the life activities of Jewell James Ebers
, whose distinguished contributions, particularly in the transistor
art, shaped the understanding and technology of electron devices. It is presented annually to honor an individual(s) who has made either a single or a series of contributions of recognized scientific, economic, or social significance in the broad field of electron devices. The recipient(s) is awarded a certificate and check for $5,000, presented at the International Electron Devices Meeting
. The past recipients are:
Jewell James Ebers
Jewell James Ebers was an American electrical engineer who is remembered for the mathematical model of the bipolar junction transistor that he published with John L. Moll in 1954. The Ebers-Moll model of the transistor views the transistor as a pair of diodes, and the model is a fusion of the...

Transistor
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and power. It is composed of a semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current...
