Biographical sketches of authors
Jane M. Shaw
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (shawj@us.ibm.com). Ms. Shaw is a Senior Manager of Organic Electronics at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where her research is currently focused on materials and processes for semiconductors and displays. Since joining IBM, she has pursued a program of scientific research and management in the areas of photochemistry, lithography, and polymeric materials and processes for electronic applications. Ms. Shaw's current work is focused on understanding the organization and self-assembly of molecules and polymers to provide enhanced optical, electrical, and mechanical properties for the future needs of displays and semiconductors, including new photoresists, conducting polymers, and organic semiconductors. Ms. Shaw has published more than 60 papers and three book chapters; she holds 38 patents and 29 technical disclosures in the area of polymer materials and processes for the semiconductor industry. She was awarded three IBM Outstanding Innovation Awards and an IBM Corporate Award for technology used in the manufacturing of IBM logic chips. In 1990, Ms. Shaw was elected to the IBM Academy of Technology; she currently serves on its governing board. In 1994, she was named an IBM Master Inventor, and in 1996 she was elected a Fellow of the IEEE. Ms. Shaw serves on the Industrial Advisory Board of the Materials Processing Center at MIT, and on the Industrial Advisory Board for the Materials and Processes Center at the University of Connecticut. She is a member of the MRS and the IEEE.
Paul F. Seidler
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (pfs@zurich.ibm.com). Dr. Seidler is Manager of Science and Technology at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. His department pursues research in the fields of micromechanics, molecular-scale engineering, display technology, optical communications, advanced materials processing and characterization, and computational materials science. Dr. Seidler received a B.S. degree in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 1980 and a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1985 for his thesis in the field of mechanistic organometallic chemistry. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Exxon Corporate Research, he joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where he worked on a variety of scientific studies related to semiconductor processing technology, in particular the kinetics and mechanisms of metal chemical vapor deposition. After serving a year as Technical Assistant to the Vice President, Systems, Technology and Science for the IBM Research Division, he moved to the Zurich Research Laboratory to become head of the Display Technology group and the IBM organic light-emitting diode project.
