Review of Industrialization Development of Nanoimprint Lithography Technology

Yuanxun Cao, Dongxin Ma, Haiming Li et al. · 10 Mar 2025

This article summarizes the current development status of nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technology and its application prospects in multiple industries. Nanoimprint lithography technology has significant advantages, such as low cost, high resolution, and no development, and is not affected by standing wave effects, making it a potential technology in industries such as semiconductors, photovoltaics, and LEDs.…

The Integrated Circuit Industry at a Crossroads: Threats and Opportunities

Salvatore Pennisi · 6 Oct 2022

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the persistent chip shortage, war in Ukraine, and U.S.–China tensions, the semiconductor industry is at a critical stage. Only if it is capable of major changes, will it be able to sustain itself and continue to provide solutions for ongoing exponential technology growth. However, the war has undermined,…

A Review of Glass Substrate Technologies

Pratik Nimbalkar, Pragna Bhaskar, Lakshmi Narasimha Vijay Kumar et al. · 3 Sep 2025

Artificial intelligence is redefining the computing landscape. Chiplets and heterogeneous integration have become the key strategies for current and next-generation processors. In the wake of Moore’s law slowing down, system integration through advanced packaging has emerged as the leading approach to achieve the highest performance per cost. Overall, the system is converging around substrate which…

Oxygen Vacancy Engineering and Its Impact on Resistive Switching of Oxide Thin Films for Memory and Neuromorphic Applications

Biswajit Jana, Ayan Roy Chaudhuri · 6 Sep 2024

Oxygen vacancy engineering in metal oxides is a propitious route to modulate their resistive switching properties for memory and neuromorphic applications. This review provides an account of the research works on tailoring RS behavior in oxide thin-film-based memristor devices by oxygen vacancy engineering. We discuss the recent research progress on controlling oxygen vacancy concentration in…

A Survey of Automotive Radar and Lidar Signal Processing and Architectures

Luigi Giuffrida, Guido Masera, Maurizio Martina · 8 Oct 2023

In recent years, the development of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADASs) is driving the need for more reliable and precise on-vehicle sensing. Radar and lidar are crucial in this framework, since they allow sensing of vehicle’s surroundings. In such a scenario, it is necessary to master these sensing systems, and knowing their similarities and differences is…

Chips template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Chips format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Chips template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Chips use?
Chips uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Chips 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Chips?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Chips document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Chips template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Chips format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Chips?
Chips - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Chips PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Chips template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Chips template cost?
You can start writing in the Chips template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Chips PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
