Adeia Inc. today announced Dr. Belgacem Haba, a renowned innovator in microelectronics packaging and integration technologies, has recently received his 600th issued U.S. patent, a milestone reached by only the most prolific inventors in the world. Notably, that number is sure to grow as Dr. Haba is currently also named as an inventor on over 350 pending worldwide patent applications and continues to generate new, high-quality inventions each year. Just as he has done over the course of his storied career at Adeia and its predecessor companies where he has been a named inventor on nearly 1,000 granted worldwide patents. His groundbreaking innovations have not just improved upon existing technologies – they have fundamentally shaped the evolution and future of semiconductor devices, with his latest work addressing the critical challenges in semiconductor packaging, thermal management, and 3D integration.
“At Adeia, we are in awe of Dr. Haba’s comprehensive approach to semiconductor innovation. His contributions are extending Moore’s Law and redefining it. Dr. Haba’s work embodies the spirit of relentless innovation that has made America the most inventive nation in the world for over a century.
