Overview

Thin film deposition is a broad and burgeoning field,with applications ranging from razor blade coatings to quantum-well lasers. However,much of the available thin film literature is based on empirical knowledge,and focuses only on specific processes or applications. This volume rectifies that situation,offering a complete description od the theory and technology of thin film deposition. The book's broad perspective gives readers the tools to objectively evaluate and choose the appropriate thin film process for a specific application. This indispensable volume also includes a complete list of symbols and an extensive index.
