|---|---|
| Born | Ronald E. Reedy |
| Nationality |  United States |
| Education | UC San Diego US Naval Academy |
| Occupation(s) | Technology executive Electrical Engineer Entrepreneur |
| Known for | Peregrine Semiconductor Silicon on sapphire |
| Spouse | Robin Reedy |
Ronald "Ron" Reedy, Ph.D. is an American businessman, scientist and researcher. He is most notably recognized for his work in the semiconductor industry where he advanced silicon on sapphire (SOS) and CMOS technology.[1][2]
Education
In 1969, Reedy graduated from the US Naval Academy in Annapolis with a BSEE. He then earned a MSEE degree from US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. In 1983, he received his Ph.D. in EE & Applied Physics from UC San Diego.[3][4]
Career
Reedy began his career at the NOSC (US Naval Ocean Systems Center) where he worked on silicon CMOS processing. In 1988, Reedy along with NOSC colleagues Mark Burgener and Graham Garcia published a research paper in IEEE Electron Device Letters that proved that SOS films thinned to 100 nm were suitable for application to high-performance down-scaled CMOS circuitry.[5] It was with this advancement that Reedy decided to commercialize the technology. Their research findings were instrumental to the industry and have since been cited in 13 IEEE research papers and 58 patents.[6]
In 1990, Reedy co-founded Peregrine Semiconductor to commercialize the advanced technology. Peregrine became a fabless chip designer[7] that is now publicly traded on the NASDAQ.[8][9] Reedy served as the company's founding CEO and now is the company's CTO.[10]
Reedy sits on the Council of Advisors for UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering and its Gordon Leadership Center.[2][11]
Over the course of his career, Reedy has been listed as an inventor on dozens of patents.[12] Many of those patents are related to advancements in silicon on insulator, silicon on sapphire and CMOS.
Awards and recognition
In 2011, Reedy and co-founder Mark Burgener were awarded the IEEE Daniel E. Noble Award for Emerging Technologies for their contribution[13]"to make silicon on sapphire (SOS) technology commercially feasible for wireless communications."[14] The IEEE Noble award is presented annually to individuals who made a significant contribution to emerging technologies.[15][16]
