Wide Bandgap Semiconductors: Growth, Characterization, Devices and System Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Wide Bandgap Semiconductors: Growth, Characterization, Devices and System Applications”. Wide bandgap semiconductors are rapidly emerging as disruptive materials for a wide range of applications. Even though some products are already available on the market, efforts are still needed to improve the performance and reliability of the devices, as well as to identify novel materials and structures toward widening the possible application fields. In order to showcase the most recent advancements, we are requesting submissions for a Special Issue on wide bandgap semiconductors and their applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Crystal growth: Bulk growth, epitaxial growth, doping and point defects, growth methods, and related technology;
• Characterization: Optical and electrical properties, structural analysis, and theory and simulation;
• Devices: Visible, UV, and white LEDs, micro LEDs, laser diodes, solar cells, detectors, transistors, diodes, high-power and high-frequency devices, device processing, contacts, and reliability;
• System applications of wide bandgap semiconductors: Power supplies and modules, electric chargers, motor drive and control, hybrid and/or electric vehicles, and related utilities.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings 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). 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.
