Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

III-V semiconductors have been applied in many different areas, such as space and concentrated terrestrial solar cells, laser diodes, high-brightness LEDs, ultraviolet LEDs, high frequency, high power and the substitution of other cheap technologies in harsh environments. Their inherent reliability and high performance in professional or commercial applications will increase in the coming years with new possibilities for development, with low-cost subtraction and addition of new materials and technologies to the chip, to maintain or improve performance at an affordable cost.

The new electronics markets are being shaped by 5G wireless communications, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), pushing forward emerging semiconductor technologies with the advances in lithography, new processing methods, the integration in 2D or 3D with other technologies, and the improvement of power efficiency and performance.

This Special Issue of Applied Sciences is devoted to recent developments, reliability studies, applications and future perspectives for III-V semiconductors.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
