Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductors are used as active materials in diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, solar cells, sensors, and lasers, which have already penetrated every corner of the contemporary industrial system and human life. Undoubtedly, semiconductor materials have been the cornerstone of modern technology and information society. These materials include element semiconductors, inorganic compound conductors, organic compound semiconductors, and amorphous and liquid semiconductors. Nowadays, existing semiconductor materials are reaching their physical limitations, and increasing new applications are driving demand for even smaller, lighter, and more powerful semiconductors; thus, scientists have been committed to promoting high-quality research in new semiconductor materials.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent advancements in semiconductor materials, including their design, growth, characterization, and device or circuit application. In addition to original research papers, comprehensive review articles are also welcome.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
