About
Mau-Chung Frank Chang is a pioneering figure in high-speed electronics and millimeter-wave technologies, with a career defined by transformative contributions to semiconductor devices and interconnect systems. His research spans compound semiconductor integrated circuits, heterojunction bipolar transistors, and advanced packaging, but he is perhaps best known for his groundbreaking work on millimeter-wave contactless connectors—a technology that bridges fundamental physics with real-world commercialization. This innovation, detailed in his 2022 paper, addresses the critical need for high-speed electrical connectors in displays, smartphones, automobiles, and industrial robots, enabling faster data transmission without physical contact. With over 9,000 citations across his career, Chang’s impact is immense; his work on GaAs HBTs and InP HEMTs has been instrumental in advancing wireless communications, radar systems, and high-speed computing. A Fellow of the IEEE and the National Academy of Inventors, he holds more than 100 U.S. patents and has received the IEEE David Sarnoff Award. His ability to translate fundamental research into commercial products—such as contactless connectors now used in consumer electronics—makes his legacy both academically profound and industrially vital.
