Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid growth in the field of sensing industries, researchers are constantly working on the enhancement of the quality of the prototypes in terms of robustness, sensitivity, and longevity. The variation in the working mechanisms of the sensors can diversify the nature of the sensing prototypes in terms of their applications. The work on field-effect transistor (FET)-based sensors has been one of the sectors in which the researchers are investing collaborative efforts to produce high-quality sensors in the last few decades. This type of sensor has become a promising candidate for applications requiring ultra-sensitivity and fast response times. The additional attributes of the sensors, like chemical functionality and flexibility in the electrochemical properties, have led to the high-end implementation of these devices. The changing solid-state technologies have created a state-of-the-art to develop FET-based sensors built on multidisciplinary research.

Furthermore, modern complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturing techniques, including advantages of miniaturization, parallel sensing, and capabilities to be integrated with electronic circuits and systems, have allowed researchers to develop these sensors with multifunctional capabilities. We are presenting this call for papers for a Special Issue of the MDPI journal Sensors devoted to “Sensors Based on Field-Effect Transistors.” This Special Issue will highlight advances in the modeling, fabrication, and development of novel sensors that use the FET technique with applications in a wide range of fields. The Special Issue will include but is not limited to the following topics:

1. Chemical sensors
2. Biosensors
3. Energy-harvesting sensors
4. pH and temperature sensors
5. Flexible strain sensors
6. Multifunctional applications
7. Drug delivery sensors
8. Magnetic sensors
9. Biomarkers and point-of-care devices
10. Lab on-a -hip

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.
