Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Despite enormous research efforts and the beginning of commercial exploitation, THz technology and its applications are still an emerging field. Benefitting from advances in manufacturing technology as well as from the small dimensions coming with wavelengths of 1 mm and below, an increasing number of THz solutions, including near-field effect-based structures, are becoming available as on-chip THz devices. Starting with relatively simple detectors or sources, e.g., electronic–photonic integration can enhance functionality and enable more complex devices for applications in engineering such as high-speed communication or non-destructive testing and physics such as in particle accelerators or spectroscopy.
Consequently, we would like to run the gamut from on-chip THz devices and their manufacturing to applications in science and technology. Thus, we look forward to receiving your high-quality contributions in these fields in different formats, such as research papers or review articles.

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.
