As ECS President,I recently had the privilege of representing the Society at the Perkin Medal award ceremony in Philadelphia.The event was particularly gratifying since the 2004 recipient of this prestigious award was Dr.Gordon E.Moore.Dr.Moore co-founded both Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel.He is known worldwide for Moore's Law,which predicts the number of transistors on an integrated circuit double every eighteen months.Dr.Moore is a 46-year member of ECS and is one of only two people to have given plenary lectures twice at our biannual meetings,the other being Nobel Laureate Dr.Rudy Marcus.Being an ECS dry-side chemist myself,who is associated with the semiconductor industry,it was most exciting to see that a fellow chemist and ECS member had received the Perkin Medal for his contributions to science and technology in the field of electronic devices.
