Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Screening and diagnosis by current techniques do not allow for the detection of different types of biomarkers at the same time, due to technological limitations and high costs. Array chip techniques for both proteomics and genomics often require several stages of amplification, sophisticated instrumentation, and highly skilled operators for reliable biomarking analysis. Thus, the development of novel technological designs that can provide the basis for more precise, sensitive, easy-to-use, and robust biomolecule detection has emerged as a clear “unmet need”.
Moreover, cost reduction, scale-up, compatibility, and simplicity are major value additions and breakthroughs, in addition to biosensors’ high-responsivity, -sensitivity, and -selectivity.
Furthermore, the integration of nano/micro-biosensors, that are functionalized with emerging materials, to CMOS systems and their electronic packing are very challenging since it requires the multiple deposition of layers of dielectrics and metals, and results in an atomic mismatch that increases ohmic resistance, and creates noise and reducing sensitivity.
This Special Issue aims to introduce emerging/functional materials for “nano/micro-biosensors” application. Topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
- Graphene/graphene-like material based FET-biosensors
- Nanonet-FET-biosensors
- Electrical testing of nano/micro-biosensors
- Contemporary materials to functionalize nano/micro-sensors
- Plasmonic nano-biosensors
- Liquid-gated FET nano-biosensors
- Dynamic electrical characterization of nano/micro-biosensors
- Electronic and mechanical packaging of nano/microsensors

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. Materials 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 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.
