Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will address advances in GaN technology and its applications in different fields of power electronics. In particular, the aim is to present the latest achievements in developing advanced power electronic technology and materials and GaN solutions for power converters.
This Special Issue will include (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- GaN-based materials and heterostructures growth and characterization;
- Device processing steps (contacts, dielectrics, etching, etc.);
- GaN-based devices (advanced lateral HEMTs for power and RF applications, vertical GaN-based devices and packaging, etc.);
- Devices characterization, modeling and reliability;
- GaN systems: modeling, testing and reliability;
- Intelligent and integrated GaN solutions (systems in package and monolithic formats);
- Advanced topologies and control strategies for GaN-based power converters (automotive, renewable energy, industrial and consumer electronics, etc.).
A selection of the best contributions will be invited to present the work at the "International Workshop of the EU Project GaN4AP" that the University of Catania is organizing in February 2025 in Catania. The workshop will be a unique opportunity for bringing together leading specialists working in different areas of gallium nitride (GaN) technology, both from universities, research centers and industries.

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. Electronics 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.
