Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials, represented by transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have emerged as a transformative platform for next-generation electronics. Their atomically thin single-crystalline lattice, dangling-bond-free surface, excellent electrostatic control, and compatibility with heterogeneous integration make them highly attractive for overcoming the scaling and performance limitations of conventional semiconductor technologies. Over the past decade, substantial progress has been achieved in material synthesis, damage-free transfer, interface engineering, device fabrication, compact modeling, and system-level integration, enabling a broad range of applications, including optoelectronic devices, logic circuits, memory, sensors, flexible electronics, display backplanes, and in-memory computing.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials, entitled ‘Advances in Two-Dimensional Semiconductor Electronic Devices’, aims to provide a comprehensive forum for researchers to present the latest breakthroughs in the science and technology of 2D semiconductor electronics. The Special Issue will highlight both fundamental studies and practical developments, with a particular emphasis on device physics, performance optimization, reliability, and circuit applications.
We invite the submission of original research articles, communications, and review papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Growth, transfer, and integration processes;
- Interface engineering, dielectric and metal contact, surface passivation, strains and defects;
- Logic circuits, integrated circuits, and low-power computing systems;
- Optoelectronic devices, light-emitting devices, image sensors;
- Non-volatile memory, floating-gate memory, ferroelectric memory, phase-change memory, synaptic devices;
- 2D spice model, compact model, functional 2D circuit design and simulation;
- Monolithic 3D integration, via and interconnect, and 2D/3D heterogeneous integration;
- Flexible, transparent, and wearable electronics.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
