Thin-film technology is used in many applications such as microelectronics, optics, magnetics, hard and corrosion resistant coatings and micromechanics. This book provides a review of the theory and techniques for the deposition of thin films.

It will help the reader understand the variables affecting growth kinetics and microstructural evolution during deposition. Part 1 covers the theory and modeling of thin film growth whilst Part 2 describes the techniques and mechanisms of film growth. This section covers examples such as silicon nanostructured thin films, colloidal crystal thin films and graphene thin films. It also contains discussion of pliable substrates and thin films for particular functions.
