Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thin-film transistors (TFTs) have enabled a number of emerging applications, including flexible displays, biosensors, and back-end-of-line (BEOL)-compatible transistors towards monolithic 3D integration, in addition to more traditional applications such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. These new applications have put great demands on TFT performance and fabrication. For instance, BEOL-compatible transistors require high-current drivability under a low-thermal-budget process. To fulfill the requirement of these emerging applications, innovations in channel and dielectric materials, device structures, and device fabrication processes are highly required. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers and review articles that focus on recent progress in materials, fabrications, and applications of thin-film transistors.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Dr. Jie Zhang
Guest Editor
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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
