MEMS, Flexible and Wearable Electronic Devices: Progress in Design, Optimization, Fabrication, Materials Integration, Packaging and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Research in MEMS and flexible and wearable electronic devices entails a holistic perspective at the crossroads of device design, materials, fabrication, integration, packaging, and application. Oftentimes, successful device demonstrations, be they for micromachined sensors/actuators, RF-MEMS, Bio-MEMS, flexible and/or wearable devices, require multiple iterations, cycling between design and fabrication to testing and characterization. Eventually, an optimized “system-level” integrated solution is reached, which is specific to the particular device design, the target application, the actual functional and structural materials that are used, and to the fabrication and/or packaging processes that are developed or employed.

This Special Issue focuses on the progress in micro/nano-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS/NEMS), micromachined sensors and actuators, and flexible and wearable electronic devices, with a particular emphasis on “system-level integration”, including new materials, the development of novel micro/nanofabrication approaches, the investigation of novel sensing modalities to detect and quantify physical, chemical or biological measurements, design and process optimization, packaging and/or assembly and heterogenous integration, to enable new applications and “More than Moore” 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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
