Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of the optoelectronic industry has given rise to a large demand for devices in a variety of applications, such as information and communications technologies, renewable energies, illumination, automotive, life sciences, and most recently quantum technologies. The key components of these devices are light sources, detectors and circuitry elements as waveguides or optical fibers. Therefore, the further development of the optoelectronic industry relies on the improvement of such elements. Lately, significant progresses have been achieved thanks to the discovery of novel materials and the integration of well-known semiconductors to take advantage of established industrial processes. The research on semiconductor materials for optoelectronic devices is constantly expanding, and is focused on fabrication, device architecture, processing, and the characterization of their properties as well as light-matter interaction.
This Special Issue aims to cover the state of the art of semiconductor modelling, design, fabrication, and characterization, with a specifical focus on application in optoelectronic devices.
We invite you to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Silicon integration and CMOS-compatible materials;
- Two-dimensional semiconductors;
- Emerging semiconductor materials;
- Novel fabrication techniques;
- ICT and quantum technology;
- LEDs, lasing and light amplification;
- Photovoltaics and light detection;
- Automotive and aerospace.

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.
