Jerzy Kanicki is an electrical engineer and materials scientist. He is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Michigan. His research concerns thin-film semiconductor devices, thin-film transistors, active-matrix display electronics, amorphous oxide semiconductors and electronic imaging.[1][2] Before joining Michigan in 1994 he was a research staff member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center.[3][2]

Education

[edit]

Kanicki studied at the Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, receiving a Bachelor of Science in chemical sciences in 1976, a Master of Science in 1978, and a Doctor of Science in 1982.[4] The doctorate was conferred with the highest distinction (la plus grande distinction) in January 1982.[4][5] His doctoral thesis concerned the optical, electrical and photo-electronic properties of trans-polyacetylene.[4]

In 1982 the Académie royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique listed Kanicki among the recipients of the Prix Jean-Servais Stas.[5]

Career

[edit]

Kanicki joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, as a research staff member in 1983, working on hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film devices for flat-panel displays.[4][3]

At the research centre he worked on hydrogenated amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors for active-matrix liquid-crystal displays, as part of the company's research programme on thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal displays.[4][6][7] IBM pursued the technology in partnership with Toshiba.[7][8] In 1994 he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan.[2][3] He held a concurrent appointment in macromolecular science and engineering from 2000 to 2011,[4] and took sabbatical years at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the University of California, San Diego, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2002, 2009 and 2017 respectively.[2]

Research

[edit]

Kanicki's work has addressed the electrical stability and reliability of amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors. A 1993 paper in Applied Physics Letters written with Frank R. Libsch reported a stretched-exponential time dependence for bias-stress-induced charge trapping and threshold-voltage shift in amorphous thin-film transistors.[6]

With Yi He and Reiji Hattori he published on current-source pixel circuits based on amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors for active-matrix organic light-emitting displays.[9] His later work on amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors included studies with Hideo Hosono, Hideya Kumomi and other collaborators on their electrical properties and stability.[10][11] A 2016 paper with Mitsuru Nakata and Chumin Zhao examined DC-sputtered amorphous In–Sn–Zn–O thin-film transistors; it was featured by Solid-State Electronics in its 2016 collection.[12][13]

Kanicki's group has also worked on active-pixel-sensor X-ray imagers for medical imaging, in particular digital breast tomosynthesis.[2] This work included amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film-transistor and large-area CMOS active-pixel-sensor detectors,[14][15] and task-based modelling of an ultra-high-resolution imaging system for breast tomosynthesis.[16]

Professional service

[edit]

Kanicki served as an editor of IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices for molecular and organic devices from 2005 to 2011.[17][18] He edited two volumes on amorphous and microcrystalline semiconductor devices for Artech House in 1991 and 1992,[19][20] and co-wrote a book on medical imaging displays for SPIE Press in 2004.[21] Within the Society for Information Display he has served as a director of the Metropolitan Detroit chapter.[22] He received a presidential citation from the society in 2013[23] for organising its first Innovation Zone, at the 2012 SID International Symposium.[4][24]
