Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, we live in a world of sensors (such as temperature sensors, accelerometers, infrared sensors, pressure sensors, light sensors, ultrasonic sensors, gas sensors, humidity sensors, position sensors, magnetic sensors, flow and level sensors, strain and weight sensors, image sensors, LiDAR sensors, etc.). Different types of sensors can be found in our homes, offices, cars, and factories for various purposes, such as turning on lights by detecting our presence, adjusting the room temperature using air conditioning, detecting smoke or fires for safe reasons, taking pictures using CCD cameras, opening garage doors as cars approach them, driving cars and airplanes automatically, and so on. Over the past few decades, sensors have improved manufacturing technologies in industry sectors and changed the lifestyles of human beings. Due to the development of autonomous vehicles and electric vehicles and advanced manufacturing technologies in industry, many semiconductor sensors have gained great momentum. Furthermore, MEMS sensors made using bulk semiconductor processing technology are used to design different sensors.
This Special Issue will explore all types of sensors devices or materials and their optical and electronic characteristics. We aim to address new trends in the materials, theory, and applications of recent optoelectronic technologies and semiconductor materials and devices.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Emerging optoelectronic materials and devices;
- New designs and fabrication techniques of sensor devices;
- Emerging semiconductor materials for sensors;
- New optical and electronic characteristics for sensors;
- New advances in photovoltaics and photodetectors;
- Reliability and lifetime testing of optoelectronic devices and sensors;
- Recent trends in semiconductor sensors and systems;
- Recent trends in MEMS sensor design and manufacturing.

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. Sensors 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.
