| 327-2104-00L | Inorganic Thin Films: Processing, Properties and Applications | 2 credits | 2G | T. Lippert, C. Schneider | |
| Abstract | Introduction to thin films growth and properties. The nucleation and growth of thin film theory is presented and the obtainable microstructures are illustrated. Main processing and characterization techniques will be discussed. | ||||
| Learning objective | Achieve an understanding of major film growth methods, the most important growth mechanisms and characterization techniques. To obtain a basic knowledge of specific thin film properties and selected applications. | ||||
| Content | This course gives an introduction to the topic of thin films growth with an emphasis on oxides, respectively oxide thin films. The main deposition techniques available for oxide thin film growth are physical and chemical vapor deposition techniques (PVD and CVD) as well as so called “wet techniques” (e.g. spin coating and spray pyrolysis). A special emphasis will be given to techniques which are important for industrial applications and basic research. A part of the course discusses vacuum technologies, materials selection and preparation. The second main topic is thin film characterization which includes structural, chemical, mechanical, magnetic and electrical properties as well as the quantitative analysis of thin film composition. Finally, microfabrication and packaging are a topic of great technological importance and the basis for industrial applications.
