This award is received by China mainland/Hong Kong/Macau for the first time in the recent 65 years. Professor Huang Mo is with the School of Information and Electronics, South China University of Technology (SCUT).
This award is given to the paper“A Reconfigurable Bidirectional Wireless Power Transceiver with Maximum Current Charging Mode and 58.6% Battery-to-Battery Efficiency”, which is written by Professor Huang, and Professor Lu Yan, Professor Seng-Pan U and Professor Martins in University of Macau. The bidirectional charging was firstly proposed in this paper, where the wireless power receiver can be reconfigured to a wireless power transmitter without any additional cost overhead. This technique can work in mobile phones, electronic watches and wearable devices, and received good comments from all the experts in ISSCC. This technique can be used in consumer and industry electronics.
ISSCC is hold by Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) from IEEE, which is the topmost conference in integrated circuits design field. Most of the breakthrough and milestone techniques have been firstly published in this conference. As a result, ISSCC is also regarded as “Chip Olympics”. In its 65 years history, only 24 published papers are from China mainland. In ISSCC 2017, 208 papers were published, which were all from topmost universities and companies. Among them, about 40% papers were from far-east.
Takuo Sugano was the pioneer of Japan semiconductor industry. He was the founding ISSCC fast-east technical program committee chair in 1967-1989. To address his contribution, the far-east outstanding paper in ISSCC is named after him, and selected from both the experts and attendees in ISSCC that year. Professor Huang’s award indicates the SCUT research team has made great achievement in microelectronics and integrated circuit design.
