Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diamond has emerged as a next-generation material for electronic and photonic technologies owing to its exceptional physical properties, including a wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, excellent carrier mobility, and superior chemical stability. These outstanding characteristics make diamond devices highly attractive for MEMS/NEMS, power electronics, optoelectronics, and sensing applications, particularly in extreme or harsh environments where conventional semiconductors are insufficient. Recent advances in diamond growth, doping, microfabrication, and surface engineering have created new opportunities for device design and system integration, paving the way for innovative applications such as high-power switches, high-frequency transistors, photodetectors, sensors, and quantum devices.
Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to highlight the latest research and developments in this rapidly evolving field. We welcome original research articles, short communications, and comprehensive reviews that address progress in diamond-based materials, device design, fabrication techniques, and application-driven studies in MEMS/NEMS, power electronics, optoelectronics, and sensors.

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.
