Dr. Cogan has specialized in semiconductor technology and consulting for many years.

From 1969 through 2005 he has been employed in semiconductor device design, development, processes and applications at R&D Institute for Semiconductors, GTE Laboratories, Siliconix Inc., Micro Wave Technology and Tyco Electronics.

He has taught Semiconductor technology at Northeastern University, U.C. Berkeley and U.C Santa Cruz. He is the author or co-author on 45 technical articles and holds 50 U.S. patents. He is a member of IEEE (Senior Member), ECS, MRS, Sigma-Xi.

Larry J. Lopp, Consultant
Mr. Lopp received his BSEE degree from the University of Minnesota. He joined Hewlett Packard and after two years in the instrument development laboratory he formed and led the engineering team that developed Bipolar analog integrated circuits and high precision thin film resistor including the processes and manufacturing facilities required for these products. After two years development, his team introduced the first commercial NMOS memory products.

After a move to Hewlett Packard’s fledging computer operation in Silicon Valley, Mr. Lopp created and managed the facility that developed and manufactured a complete microcomputer family of high performance CMOSSOS digital integrated circuits process that was developed in parallel.

Over his career, Mr. Lopp has had detailed technical involvement in analog and digital IC design, design tool development, semiconductor process development, and the development of semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

Mr. Lopp became a consultant in the industry and an associate of Technology Associates where he was a coauthor of the Semiconductor Technology Handbook and instructor of the Semiconductor Technology Course. He has taught this course continuously for more than 20 years. Mr. Lopp is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
