Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensors are now everywhere due to their unique characteristics of affordability, portability, disposability, and simple construction: healthcare, food monitoring, environmental screening, well-being, gaming, transport. However, except for gas sensing, chemical sensors for personal use have not invaded the market yet. This may be due to the still-too-high production costs, but also to performances which do not meet industrial expectations.
However, with the coming of the Internet of Things (IoT), i.e., connected objects implementing sensors, along with a growing need for healthcare devices, chemical sensors may at last fulfill their potential. For this, they must be more robust, more precise, more sensitive, and better interfaced with electronics; sensors based on field-effect transistors are probably one of the ways to achieve these objectives.
For all these reasons, it is my pleasure to invite those of you who are working in the field of field-effect transistors for chemical sensing applications to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Field Effect Transistors and Sensors”.
Prof. Dr. Benoît Piro

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.
