The International Congress on Semiconductor Materials and Devices (ICSMD-2017) was held in Konya, Turkey for the first time at Selçuk University between the 17th and 19th of August, 2017. The main aim of the congress was to bring together researchers from both academic and industrial community, working in the field of semiconductor science and technology, and to promote the exchange of their ideas and results, as well as to foster collaboration between them.

The scientific topic of the congress spanned a broad range of research fields on 1) Semiconductor Materials and Devices, 2) Thin Films: Surface and Interface, 3) Nanofabrication, Nanotubes, and Nanowires, 4) Photonic Devices and Sensors, 5) Organic Semiconductors and Devices, 6) Magnetic Semiconductors, 7) Biological Applications of Semiconductors, 8) Computational Methods Applied to Semiconductor Materials.

There were about 200 national and international participants comprised of university students, academicians, and experts from the industry. A total of 65 oral presentations, including 8 invited speakers, were given and about 150 posters were presented. The presentations mostly gave a critical assessment of existing work and future directions in semiconductor growth and device technology, including materials characterization and device fabrication processes, growth of semiconductors, photovoltaic materials, Schottky barrier diodes and hybrid organic/inorganic semiconductor devices. This special issue of Materials Today: Proceedings features 26 peer-reviewed articles which provide a general overview of topics in the field of semiconductor materials and devices discussed in ICSMD-2017. The guest editors are thankful to all the participants, and all the authors who contributed their time and effort submitting their excellent and extended works to the present special issue. The guest editors would also like to thank all the reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions to the authors on improving the quality of the papers.
