TRW Chip Technologist Wins Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Award.Business Editors REDONDO BEACH Redondo Beach (rĭdŏn`dō), city (1990 pop. 60,167), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1892. Once a commercial port for Los Angeles, it is a residential and resort city with a protected harbor and an excellent marina. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2001 Dr. Augusto Gutierrez-Aitken, an engineer and scientist who develops advanced semiconductors for TRW TRW The Real World (TV reality show) TRW The Right Way TRW Tactical Reconnaissance Wing TRW The Retriever Weekly (University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD) TRW Thompson Ramo Wooldridge Inc Space & Electronics, has been selected to receive a 2001 Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement. The award will be presented to Gutierrez-Aitken, a TRW Technical Fellow, at the Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Conference (HENAAC HENAAC Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Corporation ) planned for October 11-13 in El Paso, Texas. Gutierrez-Aitken, a Bolivian-born scientist, manages a TRW group that develops and supports the production of the company's gallium arsenide and indium phosphide phosphide Any of a class of chemical compounds in which phosphorous is combined with a metal. Phosphides exhibit a wide variety of chemical and physical properties. Phosphides that are rich in metal have high melting points and are hard, brittle, and chemically inert; these (InP) integrated circuits. His expertise in heterojunction bipolar transistor The heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is an improvement of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that can handle signals of very high frequencies up to several hundred GHz. It is common in modern ultrafast circuits, mostly radio-frequency (RF) systems. technology, a type of chip fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. process, has led to TRW's development and demonstration of several world-record setting InP digital integrated circuits. TRW, through its Velocium organization, is using indium phosphide chips to enable new, high-speed wireless telecommunications applications for government and commercial customers. "We're very proud of the contributions that Augusto Gutierrez-Aitken has made to TRW's leadership in the development of advanced semiconductors," said Timothy W. Hannemann, president and chief executive officer, TRW Space & Electronics. "His engineering leadership, innovative problem-solving skills, and commitment to excellence are hallmarks of the work force that's bringing TRW reliability and performance to mainstream telecommunications markets." The annual HENAAC competition seeks out, recognizes and honors America's successful Hispanic engineers, scientists and technology leaders. TRW Space & Electronics is an operating unit operating unit A type of operating company that engages in transactions with outsiders and that is owned by another business. For example, in 1995 the stockholders of Capital Cities/ABC approved a $19 billion merger with the Walt Disney Company, whereupon of TRW Inc., which provides advanced technology products and services for the global aerospace, telecommunications, automotive and information systems markets.
