  1. Thin Film Deposition: A Brief Introduction

  2. A thin-film deposition is a process in which thin films or layers of material deposited on a surface. Thin-film deposits form coatings for metal and glass surfaces, but they can also develop semiconductors, solar cells, displays, touch screens, and more. Thin Film Deposition employs many different techniques (e.g., chemical vapour deposition) and materials (e.g., metals). The basic steps associated with Thin Film Deposition are pre-treatment, coating the target surface with a thin layer of material through various methods and post- treatment. This post discusses Thin Film Deposition briefly so that you know what it entails before reading into the subject matter further!

  3. How does it work? Thin Film Deposition is a method by which materials made deposited onto the surface of an object. Thin-film deposition often involves pre-treatment, coating with a thin layer through various ways and post-treatment. The basic steps associated with Thin Film Deposition include: Pre Treatment: Thin films must clean to remove anything that would interfere with the desired material’s adherence (e.g., grease). Coating: A thin layer of material is applied on top of the target surface using one or more techniques such as chemical vapour deposition or physical vapour deposition (PVD), evaporation, sputtering and electroless plating.

  4. Post Treatment: Sometimes, additional processing may be required before drying occurs to produce quality coatings for the desired application. Thin-film layers may get processed in several ways, such as annealing or tempering to improve the coating’s homogeneity and mechanical properties. Why is it used? Due to Low-temperature processing in annealing or tempering of coatings as they are heat sensitive. Thin Film Deposition is also more economical than thermal spraying, and it can produce surfaces with better gloss levels. To create a coating on small objects that would be too difficult to reach by other application means. Applying thin films to create topography on parts where the surface will not support thicker structures.

  5. Some materials deposited include nickel, chromium, titanium nitrides and zirconium oxides for corrosion prevention; copper alloys for low resistance electrical connections; tungsten carbide ceramics (WC) for high-temperature wear applications, and many others. Thin-film deposition is a technique that can use in many industries for processing materials.
