Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor (CMOS) technology has long been the cornerstone of modern electronics, underpinning a vast range of applications from microprocessors and memory devices to sensors and power-efficient systems. The continued scaling of CMOS transistors, aligned with Moore’s Law, has driven unprecedented advances in computational performance, energy efficiency, and miniaturization. However, as we approach the physical and economic limits of traditional CMOS scaling, new challenges and opportunities arise in device design, system integration, and functional diversification. This makes CMOS device research more critical than ever, especially in the context of emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), biomedical systems, and quantum computing.
Aim of the Special Issue
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for the latest advancements in CMOS device design, their innovative applications, and emerging directions shaping the future of the field. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the understanding and evolution of CMOS technology. This Special Issue is aligned with the journal’s scope by promoting interdisciplinary research at the interface of materials science, electrical engineering, and system-level integration.
Suggested Themes
- In memory computing devices;
- Advanced CMOS transistor design (FinFET, GAAFET, and nanosheet FETs);
- Steep switching devices for low power;
- CMOS integration with emerging technologies (e.g., photonics, spintronics, and neuromorphic systems);
- CMOS sensors for biomedical, environmental, and industrial applications;
- Reliability, variability, and modeling of nanoscale CMOS devices;
- Novel materials and processes for next-generation CMOS;
- Prospects of CMOS beyond Moore’s Law
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
