Dr. Paul K. Weimer (November 5, 1914 – January 6, 2005) was a noted contributor to the development of television and the thin-film transistor (TFT). Weimer was born in Wabash, Indiana. He received a B.A. in math and physics from Manchester University (Indiana) in 1936, an M.A. in physics from the University of Kansas in 1938, and a Ph.D. in physics from Ohio State University in 1942. He then joined the RCA laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey, where he worked until retirement in 1981.

  • Paul K. Weimer (* 5. November 1914 in Wabash, Indiana; † 6. Januar 2005 in Princeton (New Jersey)) war ein US-amerikanischer Physiker, der Beiträge zur Entwicklung der Fernsehtechnik leistete und zum Dünnfilmtransistor (TFT). Weimer studierte am Manchester College in Indiana Mathematik und Physik mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1936, erhielt 1938 seinen Master-Abschluss in Physik an der University of Kansas und wurde 1942 an der Ohio State University in Physik promoviert. Ab 1942 war er in den RCA Laboratories in Princeton bis zu seinem Ruhestand 1981. Seine erste Aufgabe bei RCA war die Entwicklung eines Elektronenverstärkers für Fernseh-Bildaufnahmeröhren (Image-Orthikon), die in den USA in den ersten zwanzig Jahren für Fernsehaufnahmen benutzt wurden und hundertmal empfindlicher als sein Vorgänger war. Das Image-Orthikon wurde mit Albert Rose und entwickelt. 1960 begann er sich mit Dünnfilmtransistoren zu befassen und erfand einen Herstellungsprozess auf Glas-Substraten. Sie benutzten die TFT-Technik auch um Fernsehkameras herzustellen. Er hielt über 90 Patente, war Mitglied der National Academy of Engineering und ab 1955 des Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE). 1966 erhielt er den IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Award. Er erhielt den IRE Television Prize, den RCA David Sarnoff Outstanding Achievement Award in Science und 1986 den Kulturpreis der Deutschen Photographischen Gesellschaft für seine Pionierarbeiten bei Fernsehkameras.

He received a B.A. in math and physics from Manchester University (Indiana) in 1936, an M.A. in physics from the University of Kansas in 1938, and a Ph.D. in physics from Ohio State University in 1942. He then joined the RCA laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey, where he worked until retirement in 1981. His first assignment was to develop an electron multiplier to go with the Image Orthicon. This tube, which proved to be 100 times more sensitive than its predecessors, was used for the first 20 years of television broadcasting in the United States. In 1961, Weimer began making thin-film transistors in a coplanar process on glass substrates. In a typical process, he would deposit a gold source and drain, then deposit polycrystalline semiconductor material, and place a gate on top. After he placed an insulator between the gate and semiconductor, he got excellent results, as published in his 1962 paper, "The TFT: A New Thin-Film Transistor", in the Proceedings of the IRE. Weimer held over 90 patents, and was a member of the National Academy of Engineering and fellow of the Institute for Radio Engineers. He received the IRE Television Prize, the 1966 IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award, an individual RCA David Sarnoff Outstanding Achievement Award in Science, and the 1986 Kultur Preis of the German Photographic Society. He died in Princeton, New Jersey, at age 90. (en)
