Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of nanotechnology with microelectronics has enabled the advancement of highly sensitive and innovative sensors, particularly in the realm of field-effect transistor (FET)-based electronic biosensors. These biosensors offer various advantages, such as rapid and label-free detection, high sensitivity, simple operation, and potential for integration, making them promising for a diverse array of applications, such as disease diagnosis, food safety, environmental pollution monitoring, and other fields. Despite the potential of FET biosensors, challenges persist, such as achieving scalability in production, ensuring device stability, elucidating specific sensing response mechanisms, addressing Debye shielding in liquid gate conditions, and minimizing the adsorption of non-specific substances. Resolving these issues is imperative for the widespread commercial deployment of FET sensors.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a forum dedicated to the dissemination of the latest research and developments in the field of FET-based sensors. It aims to encapsulate the vibrant and dynamic nature of this field, highlighting breakthroughs that are not only pushing the boundaries of current knowledge, but also providing practical solutions to existing problems. This Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in FET-based sensor technology, covering novel materials, signal transmission mechanisms, interface engineering, innovative device designs, and applications that shape the future of sensing.

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. Chemosensors 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 2700 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.
