José Alexandre Diniz (Member, IEEE and AVS) received the B.Sc. degree in physics, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering, all from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Campinas, Brazil, in 1988, 1992, and 1996, respectively. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Semiconductors, Instruments, and Photonics (DSIF), UNICAMP, from 1996 to 1998. During this period, as a Visiting Scientist, he was with the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, in January 1998. Since January 1999, he has worked as a Researcher at the Center for Semiconductor Components and Nanotechnologies (CCSNano), UNICAMP. He has published over 240 technical articles in peer-reviewed Journals and International Conference proceedings. He has graduated 16 Ph.D. and 21 M.S. students. His main interests are ultra-thin high-k film growing, thin film deposition and etching techniques, fabrication of solid-state micromechanical structures, high-speed transistors (MOSFETs, FinFETs, HBTs and FETs based on Si, GaAs, and graphene), photovoltaic cells and sensors. Dr. Diniz is a member of EDS/IEEE and AVS. He was the Associate Director of CCSNano, from June 2005 to June 2010 and from July 2010 to August 2016, he was the Director of this Center. Since September 2002, he has been working at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC), UNICAMP as a Professor of Electronics. In April 2017, he became a Full Professor in this area. From April 2019 to April 2023, he was the Di
