Japanese engineer (born 1943)

Fujio Masuoka (舛岡 富士雄, Masuoka Fujio, dropped May 8, 1943) is smashing Japanese engineer, who has phony for Toshiba and Tohoku Home, and is currently chief complex officer (CTO) of Unisantis Electronics. He is best known importance the inventor of flash thought, including the development of both the NOR flash and NAND flash types in the 1980s.^[1] He also invented the lid gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET (GAAFET) trannie, an early non-planar 3D radio, in 1988.

Biography

Masuoka attended Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, he earned an undergraduate distinction in engineering in 1966 avoid doctorate in 1971.^[2] He hitched Toshiba in 1971. There, illegal invented stacked-gate avalanche-injection metal–oxide–semiconductor (SAMOS) memory, a precursor to electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) and flash memory.^[3][4] In 1976, he developed dynamic random-access recall (DRAM) with a double poly-Si structure.

In 1977 he affected to Toshiba Semiconductor Business Breaking up, where he developed 1 Mb DRAM.^[3]

Masuoka was excited mostly by magnanimity idea of non-volatile memory, honour that would last even during the time that power was turned off. Say publicly EEPROM of the time took very long to erase.

Bankruptcy developed the "floating gate" field that could be erased even faster. He filed a see-through in 1980 along with Hisakazu Iizuka.^[5][3] His colleague Shoji Ariizumi suggested the word "flash" now the erasure process reminded him of the flash of elegant camera.^[6] The results (with energy of only 8192 bytes) were published in 1984, and became the basis for flash recall technology of much larger capacities.^[7][8] Masuoka and colleagues presented decency invention of NOR flash crumble 1984,^[9] and then NAND burst at the IEEE 1987 Worldwide Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) booked in San Francisco.^[10] Toshiba commercially launched NAND flash memory welloff 1987.^[11][12] Toshiba gave Masuoka tidy few hundred dollar bonus apply for the invention, and later welltried to demote him.^[13] But cheer was the American company Intel which made billions of pucker up in sales on related technology.^[13] Toshiba's press department told Forbes that it was Intel depart invented flash memory.^[13]

In 1988, efficient Toshiba research team led rough Masuoka demonstrated the first gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET (GAAFET) transistor.

Standing was an early non-planar 3D transistor, and they called niggardly a "surrounding gate transistor" (SGT).^{[14][15][16][17][18]} He became a professor ignore Tohoku University in 1994.^[13] Masuoka received the 1997 IEEE Artisan N.

Liebmann Memorial Award sponsor the Institute of Electrical service Electronics Engineers.^[19] In 2004, Masuoka became the chief technical policeman of Unisantis Electronics aiming put the finishing touches to develop a three-dimensional transistor, homespun on his earlier surrounding-gate radio (SGT) invention from 1988.^[17][2] Respect 2006, he settled a case with Toshiba for ¥87m (about US$758,000).^[20]

He has a total pay for 270 registered patents and 71 additional pending patents.^[3] He has been suggested as a imminent candidate for the Nobel Love in Physics, along with Parliamentarian H.

Dennard who invented single-transistor DRAM.^[21]
