Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Provides a fundamental understanding of processing/structure/property relation in thin films, with an emphasis on behaviors that differ from those observed in classical bulk materials. Topics include vacuum technology, deposition techniques, surface energies, surface kinetics, nucleation and growth, homoepitaxy, heteroepitaxy, microstructure, stress in thin films, and electromigration. The course will impart a basic perspective on thin film synthesis and properties and will develop your ability to analyze materials issues and formulate solutions.

When Offered Spring.
