mobility transistors based upon InAs quantum wells and antimonide barriers helped to develop a technology which was transferred to industry, leading to the production of low-noise amplifiers operating at ultra-low-power for DoD applications.
Bennett received his bachelor’s degree (1984), master’s degree (1985), and doctorate (1992) all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He served as a military officer in the U.S. Air Force’s Solid-State Sciences Division from 1984 to 1988.
He has been at NRL since 1992 and currently serves in the Electronics Science and Technology Division as head of the Nanotechnology Section, which includes 12 PhD scientists working on topics including graphene, carbon nanotubes, quantum wires, atomic layer deposition, and plasmonics.
Results of his research have been reported in over 160 archival journal publications and cited over 5,000 times. He also holds ten U.S. patents. Bennett has served as an organiser and/or committee member of Electronic Materials Conference since 2000.
Bennett has been recognised with an NRL Technology Transfer Award in 2001; an NRL Group Achievement Award in 2004 for successful transition of antimony based HEMT technology developed at NRL to Northrop- Grumman Space Technology; an NRL Edison Patent Award in 1998 and 2009; an NRL Berman Publication Award in 1998, 2000, and 2008; and a Navy Top Scientist/Engineer of the Year Award (one of 18 out of 35,000 eligible) in 2009.

The revenue for the latest quarter exceeded the Company’s guidance of $390.0 million.
“Specifically, we expect revenue of $360 million, including a partial quarter contribution from AATI, with $0.40 of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. While we are forecasting AATI to be neutral to second fiscal quarter earnings, we expect the acquisition to be accretive for fiscal year 2012.”
On a GAAP basis, operating income for the first fiscal quarter of 2012 was $75.0 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.30, including AATI acquisition-related charges.
“Skyworks’ solid performance against the current economic backdrop is being driven by our expanding positions in adjacent analogue semiconductor markets, global demand for mobile internet applications and strong operational execution,” said David J. Aldrich, president and chief executive officer of Skyworks. “More specifically, we are capitalizing on new opportunities in medical, automotive, smart energy and home automation markets while capturing additional content and share within LTE smart phones, e-readers, tablets and LED TVs. As a result, Skyworks’ ongoing diversification and scale are positioning us to deliver above market growth and, ultimately, create greater competitive advantages.”
Second Fiscal Quarter 2012 Outlook
“Based on our diverse customer and market base as well as share gains, we are planning to outperform our addressable markets in the seasonally low March quarter,” said Donald W. Palette, vice president and chief financial officer of Skyworks. “Specifically, we expect revenue of $360 million, including a partial quarter contribution from AATI, with $0.40 of non- GAAP diluted earnings per share. While we are forecasting AATI to be neutral to second fiscal quarter earnings, we expect the acquisition to be accretive for fiscal year 2012.” Skyworks hosted a conference call with
