Flexible and Biodegradable Electronics and Novel Semiconductor Devices
This special issue belongs to the section "A: Physics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Continuous innovation in electronics requires flexible, biocompatible, sustainable, and high-performance materials and devices, and the rapid advancement of flexible and biodegradable electronics is revolutionizing healthcare, wearable technology, and sustainable electronics. Innovations in semiconductor materials and fabrication techniques are at the heart of this progress. This Special Issue highlights breakthroughs in flexible hybrid electronics (FHE), biodegradable materials, and novel semiconductor architectures to address challenges in healthcare, wearable technology, environmental sustainability, and next-generation computing. Interdisciplinary research results from leading institutions around the world showcase key advances in material design, fabrication techniques, and multifunctional applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
