Biography

Jose Alexandre Diniz received the B.Sc. degree in physics, the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, all from Campinas (UNICAMP), Campinas, SP, Brazil, in 1988, 1992, and 1996, respectively. Prof. Dr. Diniz worked in the Department of Semiconductors, Instruments, and Photonics (DSIF) at UNICAMP as a postdoctoral researcher from 1996 to 1998. During this period, he was with the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, in January 1998, as a Visiting Scientist. Since January 1999, he has been working in the Center for Semiconductor Components and Nanotechnologies (CCSNano) at UNICAMP. Between June 2005 and June 2010, Prof. Dr. Diniz was Associate Director of CCSNano, and, between July 2010 and August 2016, he was Director of this Center. Also, since September 2002, he has been working in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC) at UNICAMP as a Professor in the electronic area. In April 2017, he became a Full Professor. In April 2019, he became the Director of FEEC/Unicamp. His mean interests are ultra-thin high-k film growing, thin-film deposition and etching techniques, fabrication of solid-state micromechanical structures, high-speed transistors (FinFETs, TFETs, HBTs, and FETs based on graphene), photovoltaic cells and sensors.
