This Special Issue is associated with the 10th International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies (ICMAT), Symposium C: Semiconductor Photonics held on 23–28 June, 2019 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Organised through the Materials Research Society of Singapore (MRS-S), ICMAT has been held since 2001 and has attracted strong interest amongst the global materials science and engineering research communities. The 10th conference in the ICMAT series attracted over 3,500 delegates with a number of keynote and plenary presentations notably including four Nobel Laureates in Physics and Chemistry. The ICMAT conference consists of a number of topical symposia. Symposium C was organized jointly with Australian MRS and co-chaired by Professors Dao-Hua Zhang (NTU, Singapore), Chennupati Jagadish (ANU, Australia), Stephen J. Sweeney (University of Surrey, UK), Boon S. Ooi (KAUST, Saudi Arabia), Hao Gong (NUS, Singapore) and Weijun Fan (NTU, Singapore). The Symposium focused on recent developments in materials for applications in photonic devices covering systems including III-V and II-VI semiconductors, group IV alloys for silicon compatibility, oxides and perovskites for solar cell and emitter applications, quantum dot based devices and in general a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials spanning applications from the ultra-violet through to the mid-infrared. In total, 20 invited and 53 oral and 19 poster papers were presented over the four days of technical sessions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
