What are Thin Solid Films?
Thin solid films are a type of crystalline material featuring an inorganic or organic material deposited on a surface. These materials are vital for modern electronics, optical applications, and protective coatings.
Synthesis and Breakthroughs
Recent decades have seen massive breakthroughs in synthesis, positioning thin solid films at the confluence of surface science and applied physics. Modern techniques allow for micro- and nano-chemical characterization including scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
Deposition by chemical techniques often produces conformal morphology, characterized by an extended network of voids and grooves. In contrast, amorphous thin films utilize different deformation mechanisms, often resulting in lower hardness due to changes in bonding states.
Advanced Characterization
Characterizing thin films involves analyzing the transmittance spectrum and using spectroscopic ellipsometry to measure polarization changes in light reflected from the film surface. These properties are highly dependent on the electronic properties of the materials.
