Is the last phrase in the citation, "selling more than 30B devices to date" problematic, given that this plaque will be in place for many years?  Also, in formal writing, the abbreviation 30B should be spelled out.

1) Is the suggested wording of the Plaque Citation accurate? Yes, the wording properly describes the milestone.

2) Is the evidence presented in the proposal of sufficient substance and accuracy to support the Citation? The proposers have provided very detailed and extensive description of the milestone technology. Many companies were exploring smart power etchnology during the 1982-1985 time frame. It was generally understood that this required integration of Power devices with CMOS control circuits and Bipolar analog circuits for other functions. The work at ST Microelectronics on the BCD technology was the one of most successful efforts in the world and led to numerous application specific chips as products. They had a major impact on many domians such as automotive electronics as discussed in the milestone application.

3) Does the proposed milestone represent a significant technical achievement? The proposed milestone is a significant technical achievement worthy of recongnition. The technology has had a major impact on power management and enabled industrial, consumer and transportation sector advances that have benefited milions of consumers.

I enthusiastically recommend the proposal for having the development of BCD (Bipolar, CMOS and DMOS) technology being recorded as a milestone development in electrical engineering by the IEEE. It revolutionised IC technology to allow integration of signal processing information/decision electronics with physical system actuation electronics. It is the origin of what has developed into high voltage and power integrated circuits and now ubiquitous in nearly all energy control and management systems.

1) Is the suggested wording of the Plaque Citation accurate?

2) Is the evidence presented in the proposal of sufficient substance and accuracy to support the Citation?

3) Does the proposed milestone represent a significant technical achievement?


1) Yes, the wording of the citation is appropriate.

2) Yes, ST Microelectronics was the company doing all the pioneering work on the BCD technology. They have put in the most extensive amount of effort to the development of the technology for decades compared to all other companies. BCD technology is now being used popularly in the industrial, and it is a generic term that also reflects the image of ST Microelectronics.

3) Yes, BCD technologies have had numerous applications in the areas of power management, power control, and energy conversion. It is critically affecting daily lives of millions of people in terms of energy saving and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the technical achievement is significant.
