Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Tian-Li Wu
Institute of Electronics, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan;
Prof. Tian-Li Wu received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2016. From 2011 to 2017, he was with the GaN Power Device Group, imec, Belgium, where he focused on the research and development of CMOS- compatible 200 mm GaN-on-Si platforms for power switching applications and the investigation of reliability issues in GaN power devices. In 2016, he visited the IBM Research, New York, NY, USA, where he focused on interface characterization in sub-10 nm SiGe pMOS FinFETs. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Institute of Electronics, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, and was named the MediaTek Junior Chair Professor in 2017. He has authored and coauthored more than 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals or conferences. His research interests include GaN/SiC/GaO power semiconductor and electronics, advanced semiconductor materials and devices for emerging memory and sub-5 nm logic, reliability evaluation and degradation mechanism analysis, and AI-assisted semiconductor device design and reliability predictions. He has served on the IEEE EDS Technical Committees on Compound Semiconductor Devices & Circuits since 2023.
Dr. Pierluigi Casolaro
Department of Physics “Ettore Pancini”, University of Napoli Federico II, Napoli, Italy;
Dr. Pierluigi Casolaro received a Ph.D. in physics and has held positions at the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), the University of Bern in Switzerland, and at Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in Italy. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Naples Federico II, where he is working on the characterization of electronic devices and materials, including novel semiconductors and new technology for semiconductor devices.
On Wednesday, 14 August 2024, MDPI and Electronics organized a webinar entitled "Recent Progress in Semiconductor Devices".
Please find the closing summary by our Chair, Prof. Dr. Ray-Hua Horng, below:
“Today, we held a webinar on the topic "Recent Progress in Semiconductor Devices." Prof. Tian Li Wu and Prof. Pierluigi Casolaro delivered impressive talks titled "Recent Progress in Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Power Devices" and "Impedance Spectroscopy and Its Implications for Studying Radiation Damage," respectively.
Prof. Wu discussed the advancements in power device applications involving GaN, SiC, and Ga2O3. Prof. Casolaro introduced impedance measurements of semiconductor devices and explained how impedance changes before and after device irradiation.
“I believe the participants gained valuable insights. Many thanks to both speakers once again!”
