Advanced Microelectromechanical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology has developed dramatically, playing key roles in automotives, industrial automation and manufacturing, and environmental and health science. MEMS has significant advantages due to its small size, low cost, minor parameter variation, and high reliability.

With advanced MEMS technology, we are able to manufacture sensors, processing circuits, and actuators in a single device effectively. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• MEMS sensors, which are the most common application of MEMS technology with Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), including accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers, temperature sensors, flow sensors, pressure sensors, gas sensors and LIDAR.
• Artificial intelligence applications for MEMS
• MEMSs in audio, which are usually related to microphones and speakers for sound equipment.
• MEMS oscillators, which are capable of producing reference frequencies that exhibit a high degree of stability. These frequencies are utilized in many applications such as sequencing electronic systems, facilitating data transfers, establishing radio frequencies, and accurately measuring the elapsed time.
• MEMS switches, which operate at the large range of frequency from 0 Hz to more than 10 GHz, with a small leakage current in the off state and a fast response time.
• MOEMSs (micro-optoelectromechanical systems) for optical devices.

In this Special Issue, we aim to achieve innovation and the advanced development of MEMS technology in the above fields. We welcome all new ideas and strong research about MEMS structures and applications to optimize this technology's existing capabilities. The research articles can be about practical applications in case studies, laboratory experiments, and simulations. We strongly believe that your contribution will be a significant part of MEMS growth in science and industry.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
