Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrasonic transducers are widely used in medical imaging, industrial non-destructive testing, ultrasonic microscopes, ultrasonic radars, underwater ultrasound, ultrasonic measurement, and other fields. Due to the disadvantages of traditional ultrasonic transducers based on bulk piezoelectric materials, such as large size, difficult processing, low bandwidth, high frequency, and high cost for array probes, their application in many fields is limited. In response to the above urgent needs, MEMS technology has injected new impetus into the development and application of ultrasonic transducers and realized a high-performance miniature ultrasonic transducer array with low power consumption, miniaturization, and integrated integration while reducing the cost of mass production. MEMS ultrasonic transducers are expected to push the application of ultrasound technology to a new level, realizing its application in emerging fields such as smartphones, automotive electronics, smart homes, autonomous driving, robotics, and medical devices, including ultrasound fingerprint recognition sensors, human–computer interaction, ultrasound imaging devices for home diagnosis, and ultrasound wearable devices.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUT).
- Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUT).
- Micromachined ultrasonic transducers.
- Thin-film transducers.
- MEMS vector hydrophones.
- MEMS pressure sensors.
- MEMS transducer structure design and simulation.
- Micromachined 1-3 piezocomposite.
- Applications of MEMS transducers.
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. Micromachines 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.
