tynnfilmtyper
Tynnfilmtyper is a term used in materials science to describe categories of thin films defined by their composition, structure or function. In practice, thin films are layers ranging from a few nanometers to micrometers thick, deposited on substrates to modify surface properties, influence optical behavior, or enable electronic function. Thin-film types are often classified by material class (metallic, ceramic oxide, nitride, polymeric, organic semiconductors) or by architecture (single-layer, multilayer, composite).
Metallic films include elements such as gold, copper and aluminum, valued for conductivity and reflectivity. Ceramic
Manufacturing methods for thin films include physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for
Applications span optics and photonics (antireflective and reflective coatings), protective and hard coatings, dielectric layers for
Characterization uses ellipsometry, profilometry, X-ray reflectivity, AFM and electron microscopy to assess thickness, density and microstructure.
