Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of electronic and photonic technologies has enabled transformative progress in areas such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, optical communication, sensing and advanced manufacturing. As device dimensions continue to shrink and system complexity increases, the integration and packaging of electronic and photonic components have become critical enablers of next-generation systems. Recent developments in heterogeneous integration, chiplet architectures, silicon photonics and advanced packaging techniques, including 2.5D/3D integration, through silicon vias, wafer-level packaging and photonic-electronic co-integration, are opening new possibilities for compact, high-performance and energy-efficient devices. At the same time, these advances introduce significant challenges related to thermal management, signal integrity, reliability, manufacturing yield and high-precision metrology. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary innovations spanning device design, materials engineering, fabrication processes, packaging technologies and characterization techniques. Emerging solutions such as advanced interconnect architectures, novel materials, integrated photonic platforms and in situ monitoring and metrology are playing increasingly important roles in enabling reliable and scalable device integration. To highlight the latest progress in this rapidly evolving field, we are pleased to announce the Special Issue entitled “Electronic and Photonic Device Integration and Packaging.” This Special Issue aims to bring together recent advances and emerging research directions in the integration, packaging and reliability of electronic and photonic devices.

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.
