Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor technology has brought great convenience to everyday life, and this improved technology has many benefits. Semiconductor substrates and related materials (gate dielectric, oxides, nitrides, etc.) are the foundation of the semiconductor industry. The properties and quality of semiconductor materials directly determine the performance of the devices fabricated at a later stage. The research and development of novel semiconductor materials, property characterization, performance simulation, and vigorous promotion of devices have led to an in-depth understanding of semiconductor materials, innovation in semiconductor growth technology, and the continuation of Moore's Law. This has inspired many researchers to work in the field of semiconductor material development and devices. The semiconductor market is steadily developing, and due to these advantages, engineers, researchers, and academics have found a good foothold for making innovative contributions to the research in this field.
This Special Issue will provide an excellent platform to examine new semiconductor research and development, and the contributors to this Special Issue can join together to demonstrate a sustainable future for the traditional field of semiconductors.
Fundamentally, this Special Issue seeks to highlight research on:
- The fabrication and growth technology of semiconductors;
- Characterization and analysis of the properties of semiconductor materials;
- Simulation and theoretical analysis of semiconductor materials;
- Correlation between material properties and device performance;
- New applications of semiconductor material and devices.
Moreover, research papers, short communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
