Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on the "Recent Advances in Micro/Nanofabrication and Optical Devices" in our journal. Micro/nanofabrication has been rapidly advancing in recent years, driven by the demand for smaller and more efficient devices in various fields such as electronics, photonics, and biotechnology. The ability to fabricate structures with feature sizes on the micro/nanometer scale has enabled the development of novel advanced optical devices with unprecedented capabilities and performance. For example, metasurfaces in particular have received significant attention for their ability to manipulate light at the nanoscale, allowing for the creation of ultra-compact devices such as optical displays, imaging, and communication. Therefore, micro/nanofabrication-driven optical devices will lead to the great development of ultra-compact optical systems. This Special Issue aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge in this exciting field and showcase the latest research achievements.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the recent advances in micro/nanofabrication and optical devices, including but not limited to novel micro/nanofabrication techniques, new optical devices, and emerging applications. The Special Issue will also explore the challenges and opportunities associated with the development of optical micro/nanofabrication and devices. Submissions should align with the scope of our journal and contribute to advancing the understanding of this field.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address the following areas:
- Advances in micro/nanofabrication techniques;
- Design, fabrication and performance analysis of micro/nano optical devices;
- New materials for micro/nanofabrication and micro/nano optical devices;
- Emerging applications of micro/nanofabrication and optical devices;
- Challenges and opportunities in the development of micro/nanofabrication and optical devices.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and publishing a collection of high-quality articles that will advance the field of optical micro/nanofabrication and devices.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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).
