Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapidly growing demand for next-generation electronic devices beyond conventional silicon-based technology, new materials and devices have been extensively suggested over the past several decades. The attractive properties of new materials such as mechanical flexibility and unique physical/electronic properties make the materials and devices discernable from conventional ones.
This Special Issue aims to broadly cover the emerging materials and their applications in electronic devices, ranging from theoretical understanding and the characterization of emerging electronic materials to the design, fabrication process, and analysis of electronic devices based on those emerging electronic materials. This Special Issue also includes current progress and future directions of materials and devices for electronic applications. The following topics are particularly of interest:
- Emerging semiconductor materials such as low-dimensional semiconducting materials, organic semiconductors, carbon nanotubes, and metal-oxide semiconductors are considered key components of future semiconductor devices.
- Dielectric materials, including organic dielectrics, inorganic dielectrics, and their hybrid forms, play a critical role in operating electronic devices because they determine reliability and power consumption. Moreover, the dielectric layers make an interface with semiconductor or metal layers, which is critically important in device performance.
- The demonstration of electronic devices is important to verify the practical applicability of newly developed electronic materials. This Special Issue covers various kinds of electronic devices, particularly thin-film transistors and related devices such as memories, integrated circuits, and sensors as well as other types of devices composed of new dielectric and/or semiconductor materials.

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. Materials 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.
