Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wide Band-Gap (WBG) semiconductors are a class of materials characterized by a band-gap larger than traditional semiconductors like Si and GaAs. Notable WBG semiconductors include GaN, Ga2O3, SiC, ZnO, AlN, and diamond. WBG materials offer higher breakdown voltages, faster switching speeds, and superior thermal conductivity compared to Si, and these properties make them particularly attractive for use in electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, and advanced communications infrastructure. The field of WBG devices represents one of the most exciting frontiers in semiconductor technology, with the potential to revolutionize power electronics, communication systems, and optoelectronics.
As research progresses and manufacturing techniques improve, WBG devices will continue to push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and reliability. The present Special Issue of Nanomaterials is aimed at providing a comprehensive platform for researchers to present innovative findings and applications related to WBG devices. More specifically, it covers common key technology research that study material properties, device performance, and system design of WBG devices, such as advancements in WBG device nanofabrication technology, novel device architectures and integration strategies, and characterization and testing methods for WBG devices. The above topics are just for your reference. Any related topics not mentioned above will also be acceptable for this Special Issue. We will invite contributions from leading groups in the field to share their insights on the current state-of-the-art in this rapidly evolving area.

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. Nanomaterials 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.
