Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Based on the three major challenges outlined by the international semiconductor technology blueprint (ITRS) for the development of the semiconductor industry in the future, compound semiconductors are extremely suitable for use in high-efficiency power electronics in emerging communications standards beyond 5G/6G. The operation frequency of the telecommunication system is increasing and may be up to sub-THz/THz. Compound semiconductors, e.g., GaN and InP-based materials and devices, may have a key role in high-frequency, high-power, and high-temperature applications suitable for B5G/6G and satellite communication. There are, however, a lot of issues that need to be solved, such as those regarding materials, reliability, and device performance. Emerging materials and devices are upcoming ways in which applications could be enhanced.
This Special Issue will focus on materials and devices that can be used for B5G/6G system applications. The scope will cover, but will not be limited to, semiconductor material preparations (e.g., strain engineering, low defectivity and low cost), high-speed devices, power devices, lasers, photodetectors, modeling, simulation, and reliability.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit papers to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Yeong-Her Wang
Guest Editor
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. Materials 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
