Robert Dutton (engineer) explained

Robert W. Dutton is an American electrical engineer. At Stanford University, he is the Robert and Barbara Kleist Professor of Electrical Engineering, Emeritus.^[1] Dutton also served as the undergraduate advisor for Stanford University Department of Electrical Engineering, succeeded by John M. Pauly.

Dutton's research interests include the process of integrated circuits fabrication, and circuit and device design and technology.^{[2] [3]}

In 1991, Dutton was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for pioneering contributions to the development of computer-aided modeling of semiconductor devices and fabrication processes.

Education

Dutton attended University of California, Berkeley for his BS (1966), MS (1967), and PhD (1970).^{[2] [4]}

Dutton came to Stanford in 1971.^[2]

Career

Dutton's research combined fabricating requirements with material sensitivities. His team developed software to characterize the various permutations. The software resulting from Dutton's research; SUPREM, (Stanford University Process Engineering Models) and PISCES (Poisson and Continuity Equation Solver), were adopted by industry.^[5]

He founded Technology Modeling Associates (TMA), the first Technology CAD company. TMA was bought by Avant! Corp in 1997.^{[6] [7]} TMA's President and CEO was Roy Jewell.
