About Jack Poon
In 2017, while debugging anomalous tunneling currents in sub-5nm FinFET test structures at imec, Jack Poon identified a previously unmodeled phonon-assisted resonant pathway that explained hysteresis in gate leakage, work later cited in the IEDM Best Paper award for its impact on reliability modeling. He doesn’t speak in abstractions: his whiteboards are dense with band-diagram annotations, annotated TEM cross-sections, and hand-sketched scattering phase shifts. His approach merges experimental pragmatism with first-principles rigor, he co-developed the 'Poon-Bandfold' correction for non-parabolicity in strained SiGe heterojunctions, now embedded in TCAD tools from Synopsys to Silvaco. He’s skeptical of quantum supremacy claims that ignore interface disorder, and insists that every nanowire simulation must account for atomic-scale roughness before invoking coherence. His lectures begin not with equations, but with a photo of a failed wafer, then he walks backward through the physics that doomed it.
