For example, they cite his APS Fellow Award in 2001 but fail to mention his IEEE Fellow Award in 1969 around the age of 40 shortly after being awarded tenure. Before that, when he was an assistant professor, he started a conference series on high-speed semiconductor devices and circuits and presented himself as a leader in the field.
