ELECTRONIC DEVICE FAILURE ANALYSIS | VOLUME 19 NO. 1
ASM FELLOWS 2016
EDFAS MEMBERS NAMED ASM FELLOWS
The Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society (EDFAS) is proud to announce that three of its members were named to
ASM International’s 2016 Class of Fellows:
Lee Knauss, Philippe Perdu,
and
David Vallett.
In 1969, ASM established the
Fellow of the Society honor to provide recognition to members for their distinguished contributions to materials science
and engineering and to develop a broad-based forum of technical and professional leaders to serve as advisors to the
Society. This year’s awards were presented at ASM’s annual Awards Dinner on Tuesday, October 25, 2016, in Salt Lake City
during Materials Science & Technology 2016.
Dr. Lee Knauss, FASM,
Chief, Technology Transition, IARPA, Washington, D.C., was recognized
“for the development and advancement of magnetic current imaging fault isolation techniques
used in microelectronics failure analysis.”
Dr. Philippe Perdu, FASM,
Microelectronic Senior Expert, CNES,
Toulouse, France, was recognized “for outstanding leadership and techni-
cal contributions toward the development of novel defect localization and
failure analysis techniques applied to microelectronics and microsystems
devices.”
Mr. David Vallett, FASM,
Owner, PeakSource Analytical LLC, Fairfax, Vt.,
was recognized “for sustained outstanding technical contributions, leader-
ship, dissemination of knowledge, and education inmicroelectronic IC fault
isolation and failure analysis technology and magnetic imaging applications, and for articulating
and publicizing major analytical technology hurdles and challenges throughout the industry.”
EDFAS congratulates these gentlemen on achieving the distinguished honor of ASM Fellow.
They join Larry Wagner (2010), Ed Cole (2013), Bill Vanderlinde (2014), and Tom Moore (2015) as
EDFAS members selected for this honor.
