Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and engineers to share the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the field of complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology. It aims to promote in-depth understanding and further development of CMOS technologies by presenting cutting-edge research findings.
The scope encompasses a wide range of aspects related to CMOS technology, covering both fundamental research exploring the physical properties and behavior of CMOS devices, as well as applied research focusing on the integration of CMOS technologies into various practical applications. The Special Issue will also cover the technological challenges and solutions in the design, fabrication, and optimization of CMOS systems.
This Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- Advanced CMOS Devices: Novel device structures such as FinFETs, nanowire FETs, and their performance enhancements. Research on improving device scalability, reducing power consumption, and enhancing switching speed.
- CMOS Fabrication Technologies: New materials and processes for CMOS manufacturing, including advanced lithography techniques, high-k dielectrics, and metal gates. The optimization of fabrication processes is intended to achieve higher yields and better device performance.
- Low-Power CMOS Design: Circuit- and system-level design strategies for low-power operations, such as power management techniques, clock gating, and voltage scaling, as well as the exploration of energy-efficient architectures for different applications.
- CMOS in Emerging Applications: The integration of CMOS technologies into areas like artificial intelligence, the internet of things (IoT), and 5G communication, and exploration of how CMOS technologies can enable new functionalities and improve the performance of these emerging systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Electronics 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.
