Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to submit your research work to our Special Issue “Deposition, Characterization and Applications of Semiconductor-Based Thin Films”. Semiconductor-based thin films are a broad class of materials that play a very important role in fundamental science and applications in modern nanotechnology. Semiconductor thin films, especially nanostructured films, usually show strong carrier confinement effects that strongly depend on their structure. Therefore, specific preparation and deposition methods that enable the precise control and determination of the materials’ structure and their other properties are very important. Such materials attract a great deal of attention due to their huge applicability. Practically all modern nanotechnology devices today use some type of thin film. Therefore, all investigations related to the application of semiconductor-based thin films in all fields are desired.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest theoretical and experimental research related to the preparation, characterization, and application of semiconductor-based thin films. Both research papers and review articles are invited.
In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Preparation and structural properties of novel semiconductor-based thin films;
- New characterization techniques of thin films;
- Opto-electrical properties and devices prepared using semiconductor-based thin films;
- Applications of semiconductor thin films.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
