Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks is revolutionizing connectivity, enabling faster speeds and significantly enhancing the quality of life through applications like smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Concurrently, electric vehicles (EVs) are capturing an increasing share of the market, promising a more efficient and sustainable future by reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. These advancements create substantial demands for high-performance semiconductor devices, particularly in the fields of RF and power electronics, where wide-bandgap (WBG) devices are playing a crucial role in achieving superior efficiency and reliability.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge developments in novel RF and power electronics devices and their applications. We welcome contributions covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
Wide-bandgap devices (GaN, Ga2O3, AlN, etc.) and applications;
High-frequency RF/mmWave device and applications;
Advanced device processing;
Device reliability;
Device characterization;
Gate driver design for semiconductors;
WBG-based power converters.
We invite researchers and industry experts to submit their latest findings and reviews to contribute to the advancement of this dynamic field.

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. Micromachines 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.
