Biography

Jian V. Li holds a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. Since 2017, he has been an associate professor at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan. He specializes in the characterization of semiconductor materials and devices—especially properties concerning defects, carrier recombination, and interfaces—with capacitance spectroscopy and other electrical–optical techniques.

Giorgio Ferrari obtained his PhD in electronics engineering in 2003 from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Since 2005, he has been an assistant professor of electronics at the Politecnico di Milano. His research concerns the development of novel integrated instrumentation to probe electrical properties of materials, devices, and biosamples at the nanoscale.

"This book provides a comprehensive review of all the important aspects of capacitance spectroscopy techniques, including fundamental principles, instrumentation overview, practical applications, and the latest emerging techniques. It is well organized and easy to read. Its rich information is useful for both professional researchers and undergraduate- and graduate-level students in physics, chemistry, and materials science and engineering." – Prof. Yanfa Yan, University of Toledo, USA
