Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global sensor market is rapidly expanding, with new business opportunities in IoT, consumer electronics, automotive industry, robotics, and healthcare. This Special Issue of Sensors is focused on practical sensor solutions in production CMOS facilities. Papers are supposed to report on sensors for various applications, including traditional sensor approaches and emerging solutions at the stage or close to the stage of their implementation. The Special Issue is seen as an opportunity to present challenging results to an interdisciplinary research and engineering community and discuss the practical value of suggested/investigated ideas and devices.
Diverse sensors, including proximity, temperature, pressure, acceleration, humidity, magnetic field, gas diagnostics, and radiation monitoring, fabricated in CMOS production technologies, including MEMS processing, are within the scope of the Special Issue. Visual light CMOS imagers are excluded, since they are represented in other specialized journal issues. Nevertheless, IR and UV imaging devices fabricated using CMOS/MEMS process flows are within the scope of this Special Issue.
Papers reporting the results of cooperation between startup companies, academic institutions, and the semiconductor industry, focused on the implementation of new types of sensors and using novel sensing approaches, are especially welcome.
This Special Issue invites contributions on the following topics (but is not limited to them):
- Silicon sensors in core CMOS technologies;
- Integrated MEMS sensors and sensors using elements of MEMS processing;
- Sensors based on alternative materials integrated into the CMOS back end;
- Sensors using alternative materials that are integrated with CMOS by wafer bonding or chip-on-wafer technologies;
- Systems in a package with CMOS sensing elements or/and CMOS for data processing;
- Schematic solutions for sensor data processing implemented on CMOS chips;
- Modeling of sensors and sensor design enablement.

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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
