Dear Colleagues,

Semiconductor technology is bounded with several material options, i.e., from metal (M), oxide (O), to semiconductor characteristics (S). One and foremost prioritized option among them is the field effect transistors (FET), so-called the MOSFET. With this attention, several material options have been of great interest to the semiconductor industry and are under intensive investigation. This can be achieved by supporting these material options and allowed with the new processing techniques to develop most efficient choices in device technologies.

The Special Issue of Nanomaterials is focused on emerging semiconductor device technology initiating from FETs, high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), tunneling FETs (TFETs), and so on through novel structural and material options through modeling as well as fabrication. It is worth pointing that the material choices in device technologies have been advanced with the latest research findings by tsmc, Taiwan (Semiconductor industry) and MIT, USA (highly reputed university), i.e., 2D FETs for 1nm technology node (IEDM, 2022). Having said that, the several novel implementations on device options is always beneficial and needed for the emerging technology nodes in semiconductor industry. Here, 3D stacked multi-bridge vertical channel complementary FET, so-called the CFET with gate-all-around has also been invented to continue Moore’s law. In addition, the processing technological equipment’s are also important to implement such futuristic designs with less processing defects. To do this, a method of manufacturing semiconductor devices and advanced processing equipment’s are needed. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on,

• CMOS platform device technologies (FETs & CFETs, HEMTs, TFETs, etc.);
• Process module innovations and progresses in device technology;
• Material engineering and implementations in device technology;
• Device to circuit interactions and applications.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
