In 2021, the SISC added an award for the best student poster in honor of Professor T. P. Ma, Yale University. Professor Ma was an internationally recognized pioneer for his contributions to semiconductor science and technology—in particular, breakthroughs in advanced gate dielectrics, which paved the path for highk dielectrics and extended the scaling of CMOS technology. His research also generated fundamental and lasting impacts on many other applied physics fields, notably ferroelectrics and ionizing radiation sciences. The SISC T. P. Ma Award will be presented to the lead student author for a poster presentation. The winner will be chosen by members of the technical program committee at the end of the SISC. The award will consist of a plaque, an honorarium, and a permanent mention on the conference web site.
