Nel Cortile Teresiano si è svolta la venticinquesima edizione della Giornata del Laureato, la cerimonia in cui la Comunità accademica di Pavia consegna il diploma di laurea e festeggia i migliori neo-laureati dell’ultimo anno accademico. Una tradizione avviata nel 1991 con l’intento di rafforzare il senso di appartenenza dei laureati pavesi all’Alma Ticinensis Universitas e all’Associazione Alunni.

Ospite d’onore della XXV Giornata del Laureato è Pietro Palella, amministratore delegato e direttore generale di ST Microelectronics Italia. Cremonese classe 1951, Pietro Palella è alunno del collegio Borromeo e si è laureato in ingegneria elettronica all’Università di Pavia nel 1974.
Ha iniziato la sua carriera nei laboratori di Ricerca & Sviluppo dell’Italtel (gruppo STET) occupandosi di prodotti digitali di commutazione per le telecomunicazioni. Nel 1978 è entrato in SGS, una delle società da cui nascerà la STMicroelectronics, come ingegnere di applicazione per i prodotti per le telecomunicazioni. Diventato poi responsabile del Marketing di Prodotto per le Logiche Standard e i Dispositivi per le Telecomunicazioni, successivamente è stato promosso Product Manager per i prodotti semicustom e nel 1986, nominato Business Director della nuova filiale della ST che si occupa di ASIC, Innovative Silicon Technology. Nel 1997, Palella diventa Direttore Generale della Divisione Wireline Products e nel 2002 viene nominato Group General Manager per il mercato dell’Auto. Nell’aprile 2006 il Consiglio di Amministrazione della STMicroelectronics srl, consociata italiana del Gruppo STMicroelectronics, nomina Palella Direttore generale della Società. Dal 2012 Palella è stato nominato Amministratore Delegato di STMicroelectronics Italia. Fin dalla sua creazione Palella è promotore della Fondazione Distretto High Tech Milano Brianza di cui è Presidente. Attualmente è Vice Presidente con delega alla Ricerca e all’Innovazione di ANIE, la Federazione che all’interno di Confindustria rappresenta le imprese Elettrotecniche ed Elettroniche italiane e Vice Presidente di Confindustria Monza Brianza.
I did pry open some of my multiple pacemakers to show the internals. Titanium is very difficult to cut, I spend 3 or 4 Dremel cutting discs for each of them...
Germanium transistors from 1955. In the early 1950s Sylvania established transistor and diode manufacturing at their tube (valve) facility in Emporium PA. Manufacturing was transferred to the Electronics Divsions in Woburn Mass. In 1957 it was divided into two new organizations, the Semiconductor Division and Special Tube Operations.
Skyworks, one of the current world leaders in RF components for smartphones has its roots in Sylvania, Woburn.
CBS Germanium Alloy Junction transistor from the early to mid 1950s. CBS purchased vacuum tube manufacturer Hytron (based in Danvers Mass) and established a semiconductor facility in an old mill in Warren St, Lowell in the early 1950s. In 1961 the market consolidated and Raytheon bought the CBS-Hytron semiconductor business around the same time it acquired Rheem Semiconductor.
Aerogels are the lightest existing solid materials--in fact an ounce of aerogel has the surface area of 10 football fields--and they have exceptional insulating properties. Scientists at Berkeley lab are studying aerogels great potential in a wide range of applications including energy-efficient insulation and windows, acoustics, battery technology and microelectronics.

HDMI - High Density Multichip Interconnect, not the newer HDMI as in cables. This technology was developed in the 1980s to increase the density of interconnect between ICs by creating a silicon based substrate as opposed to ceramic based technologies which were dominant.
Using standard semiconductor fab tools, poly layers were spun onto a wafer alternate to sputtered metal layers. Vias were created using plasma etching, then metal filled.
It was pretty much redundant by the early 90s.

Having already earned two undergraduate degrees in physics and electrical engineering, the conundrum La Vida Cooper faced in the summer of 2003 before continuing at Johns Hopkins University in pursuit of a masters in electrical and computer engineering was what would she do next? She accepted a summer opportunity with the NASA Academy, followed by a co-op position, and knew immediately that NASA would be a good fit. In 2005, Cooper became a full-time employee with Goddard’s Microelectronics and Signal Processing Branch. She says her work is living up to her expectations. “ First and foremost, I like the fact that there is always a challenging problem to solve or an unanswered question to ponder. Even if a solution exists, there is always room for improvement. It’s great to be surrounded by people who are willing to embrace new ideas, and are not easily discouraged in the face of temporary obstacles or setbacks.” Photo Credit: Chris Gunn For more information go to the Goddard Tech Trends Archive: Fall 2007 (gsfctechnology.gsfc.nasa.gov/TechTrendsArchive.html)
