Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thin film microelectronic devices and circuits have been attracting increasingly more attention because they can be used in many fields of industry, such as semiconductor displays, energy devices, intelligent sensors, and semiconductor memory. In addition, they may be integrated into conventional CMOS integrated circuits and systems, especially DRAM and flash memory. From a fabrication point of view, thin film microelectronic devices and circuits can be prepared on not only rigid (including glass, wafer, etc.) but also flexible substrates (including polymer, paper, etc.), which make them potentially suitable for use in some quickly advancing fields, such as the internet of things and medical electronics. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in thin film microelectronic devices and circuits in the above mentioned fields. This Special Issue aims to provide selected contributions to advances in the physics, processing, design, characterization, and applications of novel thin film microelectronic devices and circuits.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Thin film transistors;
- Thin film solar cells;
- Thin film sensors;
- Thin film memory;
- Physics of novel devices;
- Process development of novel devices;
- Characterization of novel thin films, devices, and circuits;
- Design of novel thin film devices and circuits;
- Pixel circuits for semiconductor displays, sensors, and memory;
- Active-matrix addressing methods for displays, sensors, and memory;
- Applications of thin film devices and circuits;
- System on Glass (SOG) technologies including Gate on Array (GOA) circuits;
- Integration of thin film devices and CMOS circuits;
- Hybrid CMOS/TFT process development for semiconductor memory;
- Hybrid CMOS/TFT circuit design for DRAM and flash memory.

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.
