C. Frank Wheatley Jr. (1927, Baltimore, Maryland – October 18, 2014) was an electrical engineer responsible for a number of innovations within the semiconductor industry, including the patent of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). His work within the semiconductor industry garnered him a variety of awards, including his induction into the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame and election as an IEEE Fellow.

Awards

The University of Maryland inducted Wheatley into the Hall of Fame of the A. James Clark School of Engineering.  He has also received three awards from RCA, four from Harris Corporation, and five from the IEEE.
