Rate My Professor Tsu-Jae King Liu

King Liu's research specializes in advanced materials, fabrication processes, and devices for integrated circuits used in computing and memory, including nanometer-scale semiconductor devices, novel non-volatile memory, and M/NEMS technology for ultra-low-power integrated circuits. She co-developed the FinFET multigate transistor, now the standard in leading-edge computer chips, and contributed to tunneling field-effect transistors and nanoelectromechanical logic relays. Her scholarly output includes over 560 publications, such as the highly cited "FinFET-a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET scalable to 20 nm" (2000, 2541 citations) and "Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) with subthreshold swing (SS) less than 60 mV/dec" (2007, 2264 citations), along with nearly 100 patents. Her contributions have earned prestigious honors, including the IEEE Founders Medal (2024), IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award (2010), DARPA Significant Technical Achievement Award (2000), IEEE Electron Devices Society Education Award (2021), Chang-Lin Tien Leadership in Education Award (2020), election to the National Academy of Engineering (2017), and IEEE Fellowship (2007). She has also served as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Electron Device Letters and on boards of directors for Intel Corporation and MaxLinear, Inc.
