Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The entire electronic world relies on inorganic semiconductors, which are the basis for most electronic components, including integrated circuits. The most commercially important inorganic semiconductors in these elements are silicon and germanium. Specifically, gallium arsenide is known for its high electron mobility and efficiency in optoelectronic applications. Other prominent inorganic semiconductors are indium phosphide, which is often integrated in high-frequency and high-power applications, particularly in telecommunications. Gallium nitride is important for high-power and high-frequency applications, particularly in LEDs and power electronics. Cadmium telluride is widely used in thin-film solar cells due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
The improvement of the traditional inorganic semiconductors and the development of emerging materials are currently focused on several key directions to enhance the efficiency, functionality, and sustainability of the semiconductor technologies for future electronics.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original papers and/or review articles focused on the development, characterization, processing, and integration of advanced and emerging inorganic semiconductors and beyond.

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. Electronic Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
