About Microelectronics

Aims

Microelectronics (ISSN 3042-5344) publishes regular research papers, reviews, technical notes and communications that cover all aspects of microelectronics science, from fundamentals and physics, materials and fabrication technology, device design, circuit design and system integration to its application and emerging technologies and testing and reliability.

Microelectronics is dedicated to facilitating the dissemination of scientific research in microelectronics by encouraging authors to publish their experimental and theoretical findings with thoroughness and detail. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. We also encourage authors to share the full details of their calculations and experimental methodologies within their contributions. Our goal is to foster a transparent and accessible platform that supports advancements in microelectronic research and technology.

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
